Tasting Note: A med+ lemon yellow. A pronounced nose is aromatically exuberant, with exotic hints of mango and golden mirabelle plums, complex with an invigorating freshness and salinity that contrasts against the generous fruit. The palate is med/med+ bodied, with med+ acidity giving energy to the denser textures and flavors. Long and generous on the finish, this is rich and at the same time fresh.

Whakapiripiri Mai means to “assemble” or “gather together” in Maori, the language of the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. The label is inspired by an art piece painted by two artists Olivier became friends with while studying in Auckland. Whakapiripiri Mai celebrates the amazing talent of these two artists coming from different backgrounds. Like the piece of art, the grapes from two very different parcels: “les cailloux” and “clos des plantes” but come together to craft a rather singular profile of Chenin blanc. Whole-bunch pressed in a vertical wooden press, fermentations started spontaneously on wild yeasts and remained in tanks until racking and bottled early May.
