It was really interesting to meet the team at Millton Vineyards which is based in Gisborne. The figureheads here are James and Annie Millton who have been making wine on the site since 1984 and were some of the pioneers of biodynamic and organic wine in New Zealand.

Our favourite wine was the Orange Wine we tried from the barrel because this was just so cool.
