Riesling….. but not as you know it. After 88 days of skin contact the outcome here is something a little richer and weightier, with more stone fruit and honeyed characters. The Riesling-ness shines through in its citrusy, bright finish. It’s bone dry, we'll add. Harrison has quickly made his mark given his deft touch with skin contact whites, and this is no exception.

Our wine industry in New Zealand is young relative to European countries. So when you see second generation producers coming to the fore, it's very exciting for the industry. Harrison Eaton, son of Michael Eaton who established the famous Clayvin vineyard among others, applies youthful curiosity and enthusiasm to his craft. Harrison is unafraid of pushing the boundaries in terms of wine style. Yet the wines display a high level of experience and confidence, reflecting his upbringing among the vines in Marlborough. Made from organically grown fruit, Mélange wines are all wild fermented, unfined and unfiltered.
