Gravel Down - Petit Verdot 2021

NZ$42.50

Organically grown Petit Verdot from a single vineyard nestled along the banks of the Oratia Stream in Auckland. Hand-picked, crafted, and bottled with care by family and friends, this wine is a true labor of love.

Made with 100% whole bunches and wild yeast fermentation, it spent three weeks on skins before a gentle basket press into neutral French oak. After 8 months of careful maturation, it was bottled with minimal sulphur (<10ppm).

With only one barrel produced, this is a rare and heartfelt expression of place and craft.
