Out of stock
A savoury approach to Chenin, full solids, time in barrel, lees contact but no stirring, malolactic and a relatively oxidative approach.
Dry with a light Filtration. Looking to maintain a linear tension to the wine, with savoury tones balancing out the more herbal elements.
In Appearance: Light lemon/green
On the Nose: Creamy bouquet
On the Palate: Full-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with generous, lemony, apple flavours, showing a distinct touch of complexity.
Mount Edward
Established in 1997 by Central Otago pioneer Alan Brady—also the founder of Gibbston Valley Wines—the winery began as a hands-on project focused on premium Pinot Noir and Riesling. Current owners John Buchanan and winemaker Duncan Forsyth took over in 2004, expanding into diverse varieties while upholding Brady’s ethos of minimal intervention and wild yeast fermentation.
Five BioGro-certified estate vineyards span Gibbston and Pisa sub-regions and soils range from glacial gravels to alluvial fans, yielding elegant, mid-weight style wines with fine tannins.
