Millton is a pioneering biodynamic producer in Gisborne, and The Crucible is their Viognier bottling from the Clos de Ste. Anne vineyard, made in a rich, textural style typical of the variety. Expect a full-bodied white with low acidity, showing apricot, honeysuckle and spiced stone fruit, likely with some skin-contact or lees-derived weight and a dry finish. This is a food-friendly, aromatic white best suited to richer dishes rather than light seafood.
