Winery Retiring: The End of an Era for this Iconic Winery
As the winery winds down, a unique opportunity exists to purchase the final vintages of some of Millton's iconic wines at exceptional prices.
A note from the winery: “After more than 41 vintages, we have chosen to retire both the Vineyard and ourselves and now look forward to spending more time with our family. After more than four decades of caring for the land, pioneering organics and biodynamics, and crafting wines with integrity, The Millton Vineyard will no longer be producing the quality wines we are renowned for."
Viognier has always been a star in the Millton range, and this excellent Clos Samuel release (formerly known as Riverpoint Viogner) is in striking form. Intensely aromatic with apricot, nectarine and orange blossom, there’s an alluring lift of ginger spice and subtle florals in this 2022 release. The palate is generous and textural - ripe stonefruit layered with a gentle savoury thread, yet it never tips into heaviness. It's a typically rewarding viognier from one of New Zealand's masters of this wonderful varietal.
Delicious now with roast chicken, pork or creamy seafood, and capable of evolving further complexity over the next 5+ years. A compelling addition to any cellar, and a rare chance to secure an iconic single vineyard release while it’s still available.

The winery writes "The fruity aromas of apricot and acacia blossom combine a fullness and luscious satin texture with layers of quenching tannins and salinity from the vineyard’s proximity to the South Pacific Ocean."
