This biodynamic wine is a study in contrasts. Non-fruit aromas of wax, paraffin and lanolin are offset by bright pineapple flavors, while a long, zesty finish balances the wine's ample weight and slightly creamy texture. Delicious now, it should drink well through at least 2022.

James Millton's Chenin Blanc is a unique Kiwi classic, and displays the variety's hallmark wooly character. It's buoyed by apple and melon notes, finishing with citrusy acids.
