The 2022 Millton Te Arai Vineyard Chenin Blanc is a stellar example of what New Zealand Chenin can achieve in the hands of passionate and skilled winemakers. Farmed biodynamically in Gisborne, the grapes are hand-harvested across four careful selections to capture peak ripeness and quality.
After a slow and gentle pressing, the juice is fermented and matured in a mix of large oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, allowing the wine to develop complexity while keeping the focus on the fruit. The result is a rich yet refreshing Chenin Blanc that reflects both the variety’s potential and the Millton family's meticulous approach.
With every vintage, the Milltons aim to set a global benchmark for Chenin Blanc, and this wine delivers with its layered texture, vibrant acidity, and subtle complexity. Perfect for now or cellaring, it’s a must-try for those seeking something truly special.
