Clos
de Ste Anne ‘Les Arbres’ Viognier 2015 Gisborne
By Millton Wines - Takes a while for the bouquet to release…
then aromas of flowers, white apricot, apple and wild honey slowly emerge followed
by a little spice. On the palate – dry, palate filling flavours reflect the
bouquet, spice, bacon, stone fruit and flowers; a definitive wild honey layer;
gentle creamy texture and long enticing finish. This wine just gets better and
better. Drink now and through 2024/6.

Clos
de Ste Anne ‘Naboth’s Vineyard’ Chardonnay 2015 Gisborne
By
Millton Wines
An invasive and aromatic beginning but
for a few moments then a complex and layered bouquet begins to unfold;
minerals, wild flowers, yellow stone fruits and ripe red apple; cashew and
brazil nut then a gentle oak spice and quiet toasted oak moment. On the palate
– silken texture, complex flavour combinations, laden with wild flowers, yellow
and white fruits and gentle oak spices. Dry, nearly full-bodied, great acid
line, rich in palate feel and charm, a blessing to taste. Fantastic wine. Drink
now and through 2028.
