TASTING NOTE | Our Natural State pied de cuve is alive. It is a wine that takes the characters of the vineyard and brings them to life creating new dimensions and complexity. Our 2022 pied de cuve is fresh, fruity and full of texture, citrus fruit from start to finish with glimpses of wild flowers. Acidity and texture are the back bone to this autumn meets spring wine.
Churton
Churton was established in 1997 by Sam and Mandy Weaver. From site selection and bio-dynamic practices through to low intervention winemaking, Churton produces exceptional terroir driven wines.
Churton is a 22 hectare single vineyard and encompasses an undulating ridge line between the Omaka and Waihopai valleys in Marlborough, New Zealand. 200 metres above sea level, the distinctive property faces northeast and captures the cool morning and warm daytime sun ideal for slow and long ripening. Soils are older and denser than the neighbouring valley floor with good clay content
