He was in Auckland this weekend for the release of the four new wines under the label, and to tell us a few of the stories behind it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>When he saw a \u2018For Sale\u2019 sign had popped up on Cambridge Road on the boundary of a plot that he recognised as the <b>Kiwa Vineyard<\/b> that Escarpment made (arguably their best) single vineyard wine from. He was stunned &#8211; describing the place \u201cas the \u2018La Tache\u2019 of New Zealand\u201d and was straight on the phone to the agent listed on the sign. In classic kiwi style, the person who answered said \u201cMate, I\u2019m on holiday, come back in a month.\u201d But when James replied &#8211; \u201cthat won\u2019t work &#8211; I\u2019m flying back to Hong Kong tomorrow\u201d the agent could magically be there \u201cin ten minutes time.\u201d The rest is history. Just like that, the man who said he would never own a vineyard now had one of our best.<\/p><p>James reflects that after 45 years of reviewing wine, he now realises that the insights he\u2019s gained from just three years of owning a vineyard could have been invaluable in his career. He had just pruned 1000 vines yesterday, and the vineyard that was planted by Graham and Gill Cleland in 1989 is now re-named <b>Mirae<\/b> &#8211; the Korean word for \u201cfuture.\u201d James admits that he didn\u2019t know that the name of near-neighbours <b>Ata Rangi<\/b> meant the same thing in Te Reo Maori. It was fated that Helen Masters of Ata Rangi would offer to help make the wines. Another specialist that he has roped into the project is Italian pruning specialist <b>Marco Simonit<\/b>, who is helping to rejuvenate the blocks of old Pinot Noir.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8c4634b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8c4634b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d312371\" data-id=\"d312371\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55e3466 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"55e3466\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-PGris-2025-v1-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15448\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-PGris-2025-v1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-PGris-2025-v1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-PGris-2025-v1.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-36a34c2\" data-id=\"36a34c2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a131576 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a131576\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/James-Suckling-v1-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15450\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/James-Suckling-v1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/James-Suckling-v1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/James-Suckling-v1.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bd82681 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bd82681\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d894035\" data-id=\"d894035\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e06f9a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e06f9a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The wines are made using indigenous fermentation and a combination of open-top fermenters, terracotta amphora, glass Wineglobes and older French oak. It was James\u2019 personal interest in using the amphora and Wineglobes that persuaded Helen to use the techniques. The resulting wines are only available in tiny quantities and offer a unique expression of Martinborough Pinot Noir, and are joined by a pair of whites &#8211; Pinot Gris from the Luna Estate, and Chardonnay from the Clayvin vineyard in Marlborough.<\/p><p>In true WineFolio luck, I was already committed to a once-a-year gathering on the afternoon that this exclusive tasting was happening; so had to dash in and out in half an hour &#8211; and didn\u2019t get to try the two Pinot Noirs. I will be getting my paws on those in the near future though. For now, here\u2019s what I thought of the two white wines.<\/p><p><b>Mirae Pinot Gris 2025<br \/><\/b>James Suckling had the intention of creating a skin-contact style of Pinot Gris, with perhaps some oxidative fruit handling &#8211; along the lines of Alsace techniques. But once the decision was also made that the wine was going to be made in a glass Wineglobe, it became apparent that the result would be far less \u2018natural, skin-contact\u2019 that had perhaps been the intent. A bright copper-straw colour in the glass. Very pure and aromatic, with ginger, pear, lemon curd, apricot and nutmeg on the nose. Precise, fresh and yet with a weight and presence &#8211; but without any sense of residual sugar, into the palate. The texture is also vital, without any sign of oak, and, along with a little grip of fruit tannin, adds complexity and depth. A clean, crisp dry finish. Only 180 bottles were produced. <b>93pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba1dc2d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba1dc2d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-16b8bed\" data-id=\"16b8bed\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ce4dd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6ce4dd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-Clayvin-Chardy-2025-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15449\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-Clayvin-Chardy-2025-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-Clayvin-Chardy-2025-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mirae-Clayvin-Chardy-2025.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4ab6bd6\" data-id=\"4ab6bd6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da54f5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da54f5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Mirae Clayvin Chardonnay 2025<br \/><\/b>A more straightforward expression of varietal than the Pinot Gris. Using the glass Wineglobe for maturation but adding a bit more traditional toast and spice to the wine through use of oak barrels for fermentation. Fruit from the clay-heavy hillside vineyard gives a bit of heft and body to the bouquet and then mirrors that in the palate. Ripe nectarine and red apple melds with fresher citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon. There are also culinary herbs, fennel and almond. The toasty oak here is apparent and welcome &#8211; the fruit soaks it up and what remains just cossets the juice, giving some spine and breadth. The plate is lengthy, with zesty acidity carrying to a mouth-watering finish with good persistence. <b>94pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mirae is the wine label that was started by the well-known international wine critic James Suckling (founder of JamesSuckling.com) after he bought a property with a vineyard attached in Martinborough. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-writing-about-wine"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
