Tasting note
The 2007 Te Arai Vineyard Chenin Blanc already shows great promise with an unfurling nose of spice, wet wool, lemongrass and walnut. The palate is spicy, slightly viscous in texture with hints of orange zest, apricot and passion fruit towards the vibrant finish. It remains one of New Zealand's outstanding Chenin Blanc. Score - 91. (Neal Martin, www.erobertparker.com, Sept. 2009)
This dry, medium-bodied and floral white displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and full-bodied texture precede a long finish.
