95/100 | Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
We are proud to offer this 2013 Clos de St Anne Chenin Blanc from Millton Vineyards - a celebration of a special vineyard site and meticulous winemaking. The Clos de Ste Anne wines represent the pinnacle of Millton’s craft – produced solely from the historic Naboth’s Vineyard, planted in 1981 to showcase the promise of Gisborne’s hillside terroir.
A seductively perfumed bouquet opens with layers of baked apple, tropical fruit, honey and warm spice. On the palate, it flows seamlessly with rich, opulent fruit, beautifully judged acidity, and a dry structure that still manages to feel mysteriously luscious and sweetly delicious. A rare and remarkable expression from New Zealand's biodynamic pioneers.

Tasting Notes
Bob Campbell MW writes "Impressive Chenin Blanc with seductively ripe flavours, good weight and an undercurrent of “electric” acidity that will, according to James Millton, make you salivate 10 seconds after tasting it. I think he’s right. It has the smooth texture of linen with apricot, ripe apple and gently nutty yeast lees characters."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "A knockout wine of astonishing power and concentration. The seductively perfumed bouquet shows baked apple, tropical fruit, honey and spice aromas, leading to a seamless, flowing palate that delivers wonderful fruit richness backed by beautifully pitched acidity. A dry chenin blanc, yet it is mysteriously luscious and sweetly delicious. At its best: now to 2025. $75.00. Limited availability. Certified organic and biodynamic."
