Description / Reviews
"Only 19 hectares of Chenin Blanc is currently planted in New Zealand and Martinborough has produced a small amount of great Chenin Blanc for many years. This is our second vintage of this special variety.
Bright and breezy like a fresh spring day, is the uplifting feeling that the 2025 Chenin Blanc exudes. Aromas of elderflower, waxy lemon and firm nectarine define the nose. The palate is tangy and vibrant with notes of salted rockmelon and cucumber, intermingled with honeyed lemon. This wine beckons a good time and is built to last." - Ata Rangi, Winemaker
"An immediate varietal bouquet with scents of fresh and baked apple, some pear and fine lees complexities suggesting a finesse of baked goods then a fine clay earth quality. As the wine relaxes in glass and becomes more ambient the bouquet expands into flowers and blossoms. A dry wine with a satin touch and acid line that embraces the complexities of winemaking, vintage and variety. Delicious and complex, a wine that will deliver through the next 3-8 years. Best drinking from late 2027 through 2035+." - 95 Points, Cam Douglas MS
