Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, off-dry
Millton is New Zealand's pioneering biodynamic producer, and this Te Arai Chenin shows the grape's classic waxy, honeyed fruit balanced by racy acidity. Expect a gently sweet, textured wine with notes of quince, baked apple and ginger spice, finishing with a lively, refreshing edge rather than cloying richness. A versatile demi-sec style that works well slightly chilled alongside spiced or fruit-forward dishes.
