Ashleigh Barrowman (Siren Wines) - Queen of Cups 2024

(Marlborough, NZ)

100% Chenin in the best way. Tropical stone fruit, fresh crisp citrus, racy acidity, custard apple on the nose and a rich, textured palate with a maritime salinity.

Ashleigh Barrowman is part of the exciting new wave of small producers who are reinventing the Marlborough appellation. These are intelligent, soulfully crafted wines that reshape perceptions of the region, informed by her years working with some of the world's very best winemakers. She works only with fruit from the Wrekin vineyard, where she is part of the viticultural team, farming the 11ha using organic and biodynamic practices.
