Another interesting wine. Biodyamic. Color is greenish and deep (extended lees contact?) with some calcium and nuttiness coming through on the nose, bit of rubber in the background. Sort of firecracker type of smell that doesn't really reach that sulphery threshold.

Not as flinty as the name suggests, but very good. 11.5%! First experience of a NZ CB.

Chenin that packs a zesty punch. Even after three years, this wine is citrus and clean.

There is an earthy funky nose on this wine that underlies the crisp, passion fruit. Not quite baby diaper, but somewhere between that & cheese rind. I would imagine the biodynamic thing may have something to do with it, but this is still a good wine & worth checking out.
