There is a movement in Marlborough with producers seeking to showcase the different aspects of vineyards located throughout \u2018Marlborough\u2019 as a whole, and what that shows in the glass.

I buy an extra bottle, to re-taste after a few years in the cellar, as a project. This is one of those, from the wetter 2022 vintage &#8211; a wine I gave 93\/100 on release. To be honest, it has been mixed results, but this one gives me renewed hope in the outcomes!<\/p>\n<p>A more golden colour now than the silvery green of four years prior. The perfume is also developed, with an elegant subtlety where there was youthful energy. Melon, grapefruit, fennel, apple pie, lemon peel and green tea on the nose. A delicate balance between the zesty acidity, plush fruit and rounded texture in the palate. Now more of \u2018a textural white\u2019 than it is obviously varietal. I took the wine out and drank it at a local japanese restaurant, and it was a great foil to those fresh, zingy flavours. Still very clean on the finish, if a little less precise than in its youth.
