Description

"This wine is lifted with hints of cardamom, fennel seed and turmeric. A Moroccan market spice delight. There is an adoring complexity, rich with sweet sensations. It is cloudy from natural sediments, soft yet drying to the taste. It smells very clearly of its origins in terms of place and fruit. There is deep spice and almost waxy root crops, yet with lively pink rose aromas. It isn’t quaint, nor is it fruity. The taste is long and intense. Once opened, this wine will last, even improve, for a number of days afterwards, so take your time, savour and drink in moderation, with love and gratitude, but always remember to keep another bottle handy!"

--------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--------

Gewurztraminer

Gewürztraminer is one of the most aromatic grape varietals known to man. It has a hauntingly beautiful aroma of rose, lychee and baking spices. Without a doubt it is most well known for being one of the noble grapes of Alsace in northern France where it makes dry to sweet white wines. After France, you can find dry or off-dry versions of it all around the world but most especially in Germany, New Zealand and the USA.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Gisborne

Gisborne is one of the smallest wine regions in New Zealand. At one point it was synonymous with Chardonnay and Muller-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.
