Alexia 2024 Wairarapa Family Tree White Pinot Noir

NZ$32.00

sold out

A rich, complex, dry, white wine made from Pinot Noir grapes.

We climbed this old tree together for years, until one day you weren't there

and when I looked up, your branch was empty

I'll always be with you, you whispered

so I pulled an invisible thread from your heart, tied it to mine

and kept climbing.

White heron/kōtuku – sacred guardian and messenger of the spirit world.

Taste: Quince, pear, saline serene.

Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, fermented wild and dry, bottled young. Weighty, textural, bright and minerally.

Bittersweet inspiration for this wine - our parents. Over our 20+ years together we've supported each other through the deaths of them all. During vintage 2024 we lost our family's last mother, last parent, last grandparent.

This wine is a little bit about the sadness of those branches of the family tree now being empty, but mostly it's about remembering them with gratitude for what we know we had.
