Millton
Millton is a winery in Gisborne, New Zealand's warmest wine region on the North Island. The vineyard produces white wines of notable depth and complexity. Clos de Ste. Anne Les Arbres Viognier and Clos de Ste. Anne La Bas Chenin Blanc both achieve 95-point averages from prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. The Naboth's Vineyard Clos de Ste. Anne Chardonnay reaches 94 points. Viognier thrives in Gisborne's warm maritime climate, developing the stone fruit and floral character the variety is known for. Chenin Blanc, with its natural acidity and mineral tension, finds expression in the region's distinctive terroir. Chardonnay rounds the portfolio with structure and aging potential. These wines reflect what Gisborne offers: long growing seasons, reliable sun, and the ability to coax ripe, balanced fruit from cool-climate varieties.
