Millton Clos de Ste Anne Chenin Blanc 2021
Gisborne, New Zealand
96/100 | Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
95/100 'Outstanding' | Cameron Douglas MS - "Dry on the palate with silky smooth texture."
19/20 | Joelle Thomson
From one of New Zealand’s most respected biodynamic producers, the Millton Clos de Ste. Anne Chenin Blanc is a masterclass in purity, restraint and longevity. Produced only in limited quantities, this is a flagship wine that rightfully sits at the top tier of Gisborne’s fine wine story.
Drawn from a single vineyard and crafted with care, this reserve chenin is taut and mineral-driven, with delicate notes of white florals and honey leading into a citrus-edged palate full of drive and definition. There’s quiet power here — a wine built for the cellar, with layers waiting to unfold over time.
A bespoke, handcrafted expression from a pioneer of New Zealand organics and biodynamics, this is not your everyday white. It’s one for collectors, for patience, and for those who appreciate the long game in great wine.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Authentic, natural, classic and true to the Millton story of fine wine. Aromas and flavours of fresh baked apple, there’s a waxy fruit skin quality and delicate scents of lanolin and white spice, mineral and white flower. Dry on the palate with a silky smooth texture. There’s just a few grams of residual sugar that contrast the back bone of acidity and stretches the textures across the palate evenly. Delicious, new, varietal and complex. Best drinking from 2023 through 2033+."
The winery writes "This wine is complete; the acidity holds true all the way through. There are aromas of honey, pears and bees wax and quince paste with a hint of warm wool and starched linen. The savoury acidity and austere dry textured tannin are refreshing, while a quince-like fruit flavour gives lift and great length to the overall taste. This wine will evolve beautifully, and gain honeyed richness, over the next dozen or so years. In the world of fine wine this Chenin Blanc has its own place."
