Little Wing Waiheke Island Marsanne 2019 $39.90 
How could they resist the lure of a semi-abandoned, oceanfront vineyard on Waiheke Island? Young travelling winemakers Gillian and Gareth MacLachlan became obsessed with marsanne after working in the Northern Rhône in 2010 – and hoped to find the spot where they could (literally) put down roots back home. In 2014, the opportunity arose for them to plant their obsession-grape. Organically grown, hand-harvested, basket-pressed, wild-fermented, and imbued with a touch of skin contact for texture, their marsanne is rich, self-assured. loaded with citrus pith, apple and soft fennel flavours. I love it!!
