Description
 
In 1974, Lois and the late Rolfe Mills moved back to the family farm in Wanaka. Acting largely on a hunch born in the schist slopes of the Douro Valley many years earlier, they planted a few short rows of experimental vines on a small steep bank above their house. Despite the mostly negative opinions of the viticultural experts of the time, the climate data that Rolfe collected was encouragement enough for them to plant their first commercial vineyard block in 1982. The growing belief they had in the site’s potential to produce fine wine was soon to be realised.

The 2022 Mature Vine Riesling is spicy and exotic on the nose, with sandalwood and saffron, layers of preserved citrus, cheesecloth, pear drop, green apple and brine. In the mouth, the wine is texturally soft and open-weave, with a plush, plump palate of cold buttered toast and apple skins. Complex and kaleidoscopic. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under Diam. Wine Advocate 93
