Kindeli Luna Nueva 2021
Nelson, New Zealand
White Field Blend
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!
Luna Nueva is made from viognier, pinot gris, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay. Everything spent one night on skins before being co-fermented and aged in amphora. This hot second of maceration gives the wine beautiful textural and structural form and at the same time it still flirts with minerality, lightness and brightness. Tastes like lemon blossom, aprticot kernals and soft sun drenched yellow orcahrd fruit. Feels like sitting half naked in the garden on hot striped plastic mixed matched chairs with an old friend and a young spirit.
