Description

"Hand-harvested from our Riverpoint vineyard and fermented on skins for 15 days before being pressed and returned to amphora to rest. The nose has just a hint of cinnamon carried by the ocean breeze that flows through the vines. Stone fruit and citrus pith coat the palate with the soft texture of marshmallow. Unfined and unfiltered this uncompromised wine offers a perfect journey from our place to your glass. Alc 11%.  Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly"

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Libiamo

Libiamo represents the next generation for the Millton family, in particular their children Sam and Monique, and how we as this generation now look for something that is completely un-manipulated and doesn’t leave a debt or burden on the planet. The Milltons are endlessly committed to improvement, always looking for ways to push themselves and others and without question should be credited as being one of the most important catalysts for change in the New Zealand wine industry.

--------THE GRAPE--------

Muscat à Petits Grains

Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains is a white wine grape of Greek origin that is a member of the Muscat family of Vitis vinifera. Its name comes from its characteristic small berry size and tight clusters. 

--------THE REGION--------

Gisborne

Gisborne is one of the smallest wine regions in New Zealand. At one point it was synonymous with Chardonnay and Müller-Thurgau but things have since changed and it is now a hub of aromatic white wines and small producers. The shining light amongst the region is Millton Vineyards.
