One can sense the quality of the Charles Wiffen range gaining in quality incrementally as the vines gain age. Some of Charles and Sandi's wines are showing the advantages of well-established vines, such as the Riesling and Chardonnay. Newer plantings with better clones, rootstock, trellising and site positioning augur well for future wines, and I see differences with the 2010 Pinot Gris, partly attributable to another year of age, but no doubt also to the excellent vintage that Marlborough experienced. www.charleswiffenwines.co.nz
