Description
Let's address the oliphant in the room: yes, this winery is named in honour of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. The story of Middle-Earth Vineyards began more than 50 years ago, when the property was a dairy farm. In 1996 they turned to grape-growing, launching their own branded wines in 2012.

Tasting Notes
Wonderfully ripe and fabulously aromatic with mango, feijoa, passionfruit and citrus peel characters, it's punchy and flavoursome on the palate displaying excellent varietal purity and persistency. Brilliantly structured by juicy acidity, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2025. Score - 94. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Aug. 2021)
