The 2022 Millton Crazy By Nature Chardonnay is an organically and biodynamically grown Chardonnay from Gisborne, New Zealand, produced by one of the country's pioneering sustainable wineries. Crafted with minimal intervention and natural fermentation, the wine showcases the purity and vibrancy that have become hallmarks of the Millton style. The Crazy By Nature range focuses on approachable, fruit-driven wines that remain true to their vineyard origins and biodynamic philosophy.
The nose offers bright aromas of lemon, grapefruit and lime zest layered with white peach and nectarine. The palate is fresh and medium-bodied, with lively citrus and stone fruit flavours supported by crisp acidity, subtle nutty complexity and a gentle touch of oak. A fine mineral edge carries through the clean, refreshing finish, making for an elegant and highly drinkable Chardonnay.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A vibrant, easy-drinking Chardonnay that delivers excellent value while retaining genuine character and finesse. Its bright fruit and refreshing acidity make it a perfect match for grilled fish, seafood pasta, roast chicken, soft cheeses and fresh seasonal vegetables. Enjoy now through 2028 while its freshness, texture and mineral character are at their best.
