Producer

Kuki

Kuki produces wines from the Marlborough region of New Zealand's South Island and demonstrates why wines from this area are so popular. Sunny, dry days and cool nights provide a long growing season which helps give the wines their vibrant flavours.

Tasting Notes

Lifted notes of fresh grapefruit and tropical fruits on the nose leading to a fresh palate with concentrated fruit flavours and a mouth-watering finish.

Food Matches

Spicy seafood Laksa with coriander

Vinification

This wine is made from fruit sourced across both Marlborough and the Awatere Valleys. Each vineyard batch is picked in the early monring to preserve the grapes' natural freshness and the individual batches kept separate, gently pressed and cold settled into steel tanks. The juice is racked and inoculated with selected yeast to initiate a long, cool, closely-monitored ferment, and once the wine reaches perfect balance af acidity, varietal character and minerality it is chilled and racked off its fine yeast lees. The wine is then allowed to relax in tank before blending, fining and filtering.
