In 1984 James and Annie Millton established The Millton Vineyard on the banks of the Te Arai River near Manutuke, where the early settlers first planted grapevines in 1871. This region is situated on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand in the wine appellation of Gisborne. Originally Annie’s father, Mr John Clark, had developed vineyards on his estate at ‘Opou’ in Manutuke during the late 1960's. James and Annie returned to Gisborne after experience gained in the famous wine regions of France and Germany including Champagne Bollinger, Maison Sichel in Bordeaux and Weingut Kurstner in Rheinhessen. By 1983 they had extensively researched and replanted major parts of the families’ grape growing business, before establishing The Millton Vineyard in 1984


Perfumed with gentle fragrances of white blossoms and apple, honeysuckle and quietly spoken Asian spice. Complex and beguiling. On the palate - a wonderful and engaging acid line showcasing the floral and spice moments suggested on the nose, flavours of apples and white fruits, white soil mineral moments and a persistent coarse silk textured finish. Drink now or cellar, a lovely example to show off, best drinking from today and through 2026.
