Tasting notes
On the nose it displays precise and seductive aromas: notes of ripe white fruit such as peach and pear, light citrus touches of lemon peel and memories of white flowers. As it opens, delicate nuances of fresh butter, nuts such as hazelnut and a mineral background emerge that provide depth and character.
In the mouth it is broad, enveloping and vibrant. Its creamy texture is balanced with a fresh acidity that gives it tension and lengthens the finish. It stands out for its harmony between fruit and the subtle notes of barrel aging, leaving a pleasant mineral and saline sensation that invites you to continue drinking.

Description
Millton Clos de Ste. Anne “Naboth’s Vineyard” is Millton’s flagship white, sourced from a historic plot planted around 1993 on a series of steep, northeast-facing terraces over sedimentary limestone marl, volcanic ash, and pumice soils in Gisborne, New Zealand, the first vineyard in the world to receive the light every day .
This plot, known as “Naboth's Vineyard,” is part of the prestigious Clos de Ste. Anne, a family “grand cru” founded by James and Annie Millton in 1984, who have since implemented organic and biodynamic practices (Bio‑Gro certified since 1986 and Demeter since 2009), using dry farming and no herbicides or synthetic fertilizers .
With a density of approximately 4,000 vines per hectare, tended by hand weeding and manual harvesting, Naboth’s Vineyard is characterized by shallow, airy soils that cause competition between vines, as well as natural fermentation in barriques with indigenous yeasts and ten months of lees aging .
The 2021 vintage (and previous years) has received high scores from specialist critics and consumers for its purity and minerality: for example, Raymond Chan rated the 2021 19/20, highlighting its energy, weight, and fine mineral line .
This wine represents a meticulous solution: from the pioneering vineyard, with bio-integrity, to its natural aging. It stands as the most authentic reflection of the warm and windy terroir of Gisborne, in a style that combines elegance, structure, and luminosity.
