Fresh cut grass, plastic, tennis balls, yeast/lees, green apple, lemon zest and lime zest on the nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. The palate is pretty different. It adds some tropical fruits like ripe mango and ripe pineapple while showing some fresh nuts toward the finish. At the finish, it takes on almost an oxidative quality. Medium + intensity of flavor.
There may be some RS on this. I couldn't decide if it felt dry or off dry; but was somewhere in between. Medium body with medium + acid. Drinking well now; but could improve with 2-3 more years of bottle age.

Moderate golden in the glass. Aromas of baked apple, melon, pineapple, bursts of citrus. Medium-bodied with a really bright acidity that livens up the wines beautifully. Moderate alcohol. Long finish with a nice mineral edge to it. Such an improvement from previous vintages, Vouvray style of Chenin and Millton's best one yet!

Very nice wine. Zesty NZ fruit, with that lovely passionfruit note, yet, the structure is French. Chalky minerality, well-balanced acidity and great length. A welcome surprise.

Medium lemon colour, hints of toast, cheese, tropical fruits, ginger and herbs. Medium acidity, body and finish.

Not a bad Kiwi Vouvray, but my preference is the Maison Noire Chenin Blanc.
