Section 94 (Late Release 2023)
-- Decanter: Ivan Sutherland and James Healy met at Cloudy Bay then joined forces to found this estate in 2004. Section 94 is from a parcel in the Dog Point Vineyard – the largest organically certified plot in New Zealand. Fruit handpicked, whole-bunch pressed, then fermented and aged with wild yeast in older French oak barrels for 18 months. Bottled without fining. Roger Jones: The nose tells you everything – delicate perfume with crisp white stone fruit, delicate herbaceous notes, clean precise citrus. Classic. Freddy Bulmer: Fairly mellow nose showing some nice development, though still a fresh and vibrant wine. Creamy and smart, lovely texture, good palate weight, delicious sweet spices. Cat Lomax: Hazelnut, savoury toast, hints of spice with a little struck match. Punch, depth, rounded citrus, dried mango, hazelnut. Creamy texture, fresh and lifted. 96/100
