Millton Libiamo Muscat a Petits Grains Gisborne 2021
$40.00
Description
Hand harvested and fermented on skins for 180 days before being pressed and returned to rest. The nose has just a hint of cinnamon carried by the ocean breeze that flows through the vines. Stone fruit and citrus pith coat the palate with the soft texture of marshmallow! Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly.
Libiamo represents the next generation for the Millton family, in particular their children, this generation now look for something that is completely un-manipulated and doesn’t leave a debt or burden on the planet. The Libiamo wines are unfiltered, unfined and uncompromised. Extended time on skins and fermentation in open top barrel and clay amphora create a luminosity and a texture once lost as a result of modern vinification methods.
Grown, not made. The Millton Vineyard specialises in growing fine wine from estate grown grapes sourced from their own single vineyards. In 1986 they were the first New Zealand winegrowers to attain the Bio-Gro organic certification and after 28 years of biodynamic practice they were again one of the first to qualify for the Demeter certification NZ, in 2009.
