Meet nasturtium, an endemic plant. On a brooding orange palette, it looks so cool because of the cyanotype print. It's all Waipara fruit, dominantly Pinot Gris, with some Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Muscat, and Gew眉rztraminer all included. All grapes whole bunch fermented on skins for three weeks and then aged in both old barrels and clay amphora for six months.
Ratings
A friendly macerated blend. Charming autumn bouquet of marigold, calendula, tea, meadow honey and white pepper. Easy to drink. Juicy, fresh and round.
