Ume is a fruit synonymous with Japanese blossom season and thanks to Neville from 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 bott...

A tribute to the 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 ...

The first cuvée we ever produced and still a fan favourite. When we first started fermenting in 2021 we foraged some unusual looking quinces from a nearby reserve and added them to a stash of heritage apples we had collected in Te Horo. The quince turned out to be a Japanese Flowering Quince and th...

Aimé is a semi carbonic berry blend and one of our most popular drops. This is the second iteration of this cuvée and the final release from our 2023 vintage. It's created as an ode to one of our favourite apples; the legendary Granny Smith. Well known for acidity and tang, we’ve balanced it out...

A fresh seasonal three pack featuring three new releases:2023 Aimé2023 Yuzu2023 MidiBlackcurrant, Yuzu and Feijoa are front and centre of our annual equinox release. These are the last cuvées of the 2023 vintage and mark eleven months of careful preparation and consideration. As always stocks are limited and can be aged for up to ten years prior to drinking.

Midi is to Feijoa what Petite is to Quinze. Confused yet? All you need to know is it’s low in alcohol but still tastes amazing. We ferment it using the pomace leftover from our Feijoa cuvée so it’s really pushing the envelope of what a minimal waste project can achieve. At 3.3% it’s not as li...

Yuzu is a fruit that has been hotter than hot since the craft beer movement put it front and center. Not keen to follow trends, it wasn’t an ingredient we had planned on using, but when Neville Chun (who also grows our Ume) offered us a taste we filled our bags. It’s fragrant and fresh with the ...
