Sourced from estate vines on the banks of the Te Arai River, the fruit is hand‑harvested and gently pressed before fermenting and maturing in both 600-litre demi-muids and stainless steel tanks—preserving delicate aromatics over oak tannins. This is Chenin as nature intended: honest, subtle, and texturally compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach batch reflects Millton’s commitment to minimal intervention. The juice is allowed only brief settling, retaining fine sediment rich in nutrients to drive gentle, well-behaved ferments. With stems discarded and careful vessel selection, the balance is striking—fresh fruit clarity married with structural depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for near‑term enjoyment or medium-term cellaring, this Chenin Blanc showcases sustainable And biodynamic pedigree. Drink now through 2028 for lively vitality, or hold for a couple of years to savour its layered textures. Best paired with crab ceviche, goat’s cheese tartlets or soft pâte on lightly buttered sourdough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e – Bright orchard fruit\u003cbr\u003e Juicy pear and apple blossom with subtle citrus lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e – Textured and mineral\u003cbr\u003e Ripe orchard fruit framed by saline acidity and gentle stone fruit undertones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e – Clean and persistent\u003cbr\u003e Long, refreshing finish with lingering mineral tension and light white floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Style - White Wine\u003cbr\u003e Varietal - Chenin Blanc\u003cbr\u003e Country - New Zealand\u003cbr\u003e Region - Gisborne, North Island\u003cbr\u003e Vintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003e Bottle Size - 750 ml\u003cbr\u003e ABV - 12%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eOther - Organic, Biodynamic, Vegan Friendly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Millton Vineyards \u0026 Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44897304576191,"sku":"MTACB24","price":43.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/5174\/9311\/files\/29a235a6-dd4b-45ce-9d77-c4aadb7eda88.png?v=1768338514","url":"https:\/\/cbdcellars.sydney\/products\/millton-te-arai-chenin-blanc-2024","provider":"CBD Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
