Mt. Beautiful was born from David Teece’s vision to discover an untouched New Zealand wine region rich in character and potential. After two years of research, he found it in North Canterbury—a rugged landscape framed by the Southern Alps, Seaward Kaikoura Range, and Pacific Ocean. An enticingly complex bouquet with a fruit core of citrus, stone-fruit and nectarine complemented by notes of nuts, nougat and biscuit from the oak. The palate has a fine satin-cream touch leading to flavours of peach, nut, red apple and grapefruit, with a lengthy finish.
