Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, off-dry
Millton is New Zealand's pioneering biodynamic producer, and their Te Arai Chenin Blanc is a benchmark for the variety in Gisborne. Expect a textured, off-dry white with vibrant acidity balancing notes of quince, honeyed stone fruit, beeswax and a touch of ginger spice. It's a wine built for ageing, often showing more complexity and a rounder, waxy character with a few years in bottle.
