Product description
The Lloyd family fell in love with this site located in Central Otago and decided to plant vineyards on it. They named the estate Te Kano, meaning seed in Maori. They produce a small selection from vineyards and barrels, which are often produced in extremely limited quantities.
Northburn vineyard has elevated glacial terraces and highly reflective Schist soils promoting even ripening, while lending a distinctively mineral freshness and acidity. Barrel fermented and extended lees stirring over 10 months. Aromas of pure and fresh nectarine and red apple alongside notes of vanilla, spice, toasted oak and hazelnut. Complex and full-bodied on the palate with a rich texture well-balanced with a crystalline minerality and a mouth-watering finish. Receive 95 points at the International Wine Challenge 2022.
