Kindeli Blanco 2021
Nelson, New Zealand
Riesling, Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris
ABV: 13%
Kindeli wines are are made by Alex Craighead and Josefina Venturino. From Australia and Argentina respectively, they crossed paths in 2008 and have wound up together in Nelson with an exceptionally beautiful 4.5 HA vineyard and wines just as delicious as the property. With a love for purity and quality, they found it a little challenging to always find sulphur free wines in New Zealand, and so they took it upon themselves to help nourish this culture and practise. As well as their home estate, they also source and work with 9.5ha of near by vineyards. The home vineyard in based in Upper Moutere with soils composed completely of clay. This year, across the board the wines have a beautiful intensity of flavour and yet are still so light on their feet and refreshing. Clearly a very skilled touch from Alex and Josefina and some very precious fruit!
This Blanco is made from mostly riesling, a splash of sauv blanc and a touch of pinot gris. Its clean, mineral, bright, crunchy and textural. The aromats are just the distant perfume of a beautiful stranger walking past - apple blossom, citrus and white flowers. This bottle looks particularly good on a checkered table cloth strewn in sun and seafood or on the couch with rain, pizza and lover(s).
