'23 Spring Three Pack
'23 Spring Three Pack
A fresh seasonal three pack featuring two all new cuvées alongside an old favourite!
2023 Fruit Cru Umeko:
Ume is a fruit synonymous with Japanese blossom season and thanks to Neville from NZ Yuzu we've had the pleasure of working with Organic Certified Ume grown a stones throw away in the Horowhenua.
Umeko is the result. A six week maceration to extract all aspects of the Ume followed by six months of bottle conditioning to round out the acidity and texture.
The result is complex and progressive - unlike anything we've produced so far. Tasting notes do it no justice so you'll have to open a bottle and see for yourself.
750ml - 6.0% abv - wild ferment, no additives, bottled live.
2023 Fruit Cru L'Orange
A tribute to the great Orange wines of Northern Italy. A short sharp maceration on Pinot Gris skins from Wairarapa natural wine legend Lance (Cambridge Road). This one went quick and we had it in bottle within a couple of weeks of pressing.
Six months later and it's ready to fly. A rich and textural pét nat cider with a deep orange hue and oodles of complexity. Vinous in nature with a broad fruit spectrum ranging from finger lime to table grapes.
The lines are blurred so don't overthink it. Sit back and drink it!
750ml - 7.8% abv - wild ferment, no additives, bottled live.
2023 Fruit Cru Petite
A low alcohol refresher. Crisp and mineral driven with a whisper of citrus. Mandarine and lemon zest notes are driving the bus and you can too cos it’s only 1.7% alcohol.
750ml - 1.7% abv - wild ferment, no sulphur additions, bottled live.
