Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Bokumo Wine.
We are now pleased to announce that we have started selling wine from Gisborne winery , Millton Vineyards .
Milton Vineyards, a pioneer of biodynamic farming in New Zealand, has arrived at Boxmo Wine.
Natural wine is becoming a big trend worldwide, but it is still a minority in New Zealand. Milton, which has many fans both at home and abroad, is highly regarded by natural wine lovers around the world. They are also focusing on training producers who want to start biodynamic wine.
All of the wines we have added to our lineup this time have a strong fruity flavor and are natural wines that are typical of New Zealand, so please give them a try!
The following three types of products are available:
【red wine】
[White wine]
- Milton Vineyards "Opou Vineyard" Chardonnay 2019
- Milton Vineyards "River Point Vineyard" Viognier 2018
We will introduce the product details.
A soft and elegant natural Pinot
It has a very smooth and soft taste.
The fruitiness is somewhat subdued, with a pleasant bitter aftertaste that lingers for a long time.
This Pino has a gentle, savory flavor and goes well with stewed meat dishes such as chicken stewed in tomato sauce and cassoulet. We also recommend stir-fried beef and burdock root.
Beautifully flavored natural Chardonnay
“Opou Vineyard” Chardonnay 2019
Its appearance is a beautiful golden yellow. Its aroma is apricot and peach with a hint of oak. Its taste is dry but very fruity.
A concentrated, natural white wine.
As expected from a leading NZ organic wine maker, this is a wonderfully well-rounded wine. It has a strong umami flavor, so it goes well with sautéed chicken or pork.
Fruity, natural Viognier
“River Point Vineyard” Viognier 2018
It has a strong fruitiness and a slightly thick body. It is a very well-balanced organic wine.
This mellow, flavorful wine pairs perfectly with fried foods, such as fried shrimp, minced meat cutlets, and vegetable fritters.
About the Winery "Milton Vineyards"
Millton Vineyards, based in Gisborne, New Zealand's easternmost town, is a winery known as a pioneer of biodynamic farming in New Zealand.
The winery was established in 1984. In 1989, it became the first New Zealand winery to receive organic certification from BioGro, an official organic certification agency. In 2009, it also received Demeter , one of the world's strictest organic certifications.
It is also New Zealand's only member of Renaissance des Appellations, a global organic wine organisation run by renowned organic wine producer Nicolas Joly.
Currently, the winery also provides training to young producers who aspire to make wine using biodynamic farming methods, and is committed to nurturing the next generation.
Gisborne, where Milton is based, is a wine-producing region with plenty of sunshine and is one of the warmest regions in New Zealand. The main variety is Chardonnay, and the region is also known as the "Chardonnay capital" of New Zealand.
This region was not considered suitable for growing grapes for high-quality wines other than Chardonnay, but Milton produced a succession of excellent wines, including not only Chardonnay, but also Chenin Blanc , Pinot Noir , and Viognier .
The high quality of their wines and their approach to winemaking have earned them high praise from many critics and wine lovers overseas.
Please try the wines from Milton Vineyards.
