A one off treat from Takaki Okada at Folium, made in that 2020 lockdown vintage that proved to be beautifully warm and dry. And it’s a charmer, exuberant in tropical and stone fruits, with medium sweetness and citrusy/pineapple freshness to finish. It’s made from organic, estate grown Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. This is a 750ml bottle so get your mates over and your finest cheese board ready. 

Takaki Okada farms 8 hectares in the Brancott Valley in Marlborough, focusing on Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot noir. Vines are grown without irrigation, encouraging deep root systems, and Takaki is committed to organic farming. Folium is a thoughtful, soulful pursuit, and the outcome is outstanding.
