The story of Millton La Cote P/Noir

La Côte is a section of Millton's Clos de Ste Anne vineyard, on steep north east facing slopes in the foothills of Poverty Bay at Manutuke, near Gisborne. James and Annie Millton began their estate in 1984, and the hillside Naboth's Vineyard that anchors Clos de Ste Anne was first cropped in 1993. La Côte is planted with a collection of modern Pinot Noir clones on dense clay over sandstone, which gives small bunches and moderate vigour.

The vineyards are dry farmed and have been worked biodynamically since 1989, with certification from Demeter and BioGro. Fruit is picked by hand, chilled, sorted and destemmed without crushing into small wooden cuves, where it ferments with natural yeasts, and pressing comes after one lunar phase. James Millton takes his lead from Burgundy, and says he wants delicacy rather than a fruit bomb or heavy oak tannin.

The wine is bright and expressive, with dark cherry, juniper berry and a touch of fennel. The palate is savoury, with firm tannins, ripe fruit and a lively mineral edge. It suits grilled lamb with rosemary, roast mushrooms or a rich vegetable stew, and it can be kept for about five years after release.
