Following a decade of making wine for other producers, Brian and Nicola Bicknell established Mahi wines in 2001. Their experience and that of sophisticated wine drinkers told them that they preferred the more fruit-restrained style of wines, but wines which possessed fine textures and subtle complexities that made them particularly enjoyable with food. The Bicknells have both regional and single vineyard expressions which make their range very interesting. 2018 was another challenging vintage in the high temperatures early in the growing season bringing on ripeness earlier than usual, with the forecast of rain events to follow. Viticultural work and decisions on picking times were crucial for excellent wine. Here, I review the 2018 Rosé and Pinot Gris which Brian and his team are very happy with. www.mahiwine.co.nz
