A deeply illuminating intimate masterclass with Takaki Okada, his philosophies of organic farming without irrigation in Marlborough, and a beautiful lineup of Folium wines. From vine to grape to glass - everything he does is considered and conscientious. Delicious wines from a special site. ❤️ #nzwine #marlborough #sauvignon #pinotnoir #drygrown #organicwine #winegrower #vigneron

Pétillant-naturel: Few other styles of wine have the ability to freeze time and place in a perfect snapshot while seizing so much joy. Unfairly, pét-nats often get grouped alongside other sparkling wines and, contextually, often look the part of the black sheep of the family. But while time and process may be lauded in the regal wines of Champagne, it is a whole other set of virtues that attract us to the wines made using méthode ancestrale. These wines allow a chance for varietal characteristics to shine through, to reenergise the palate, and, perhaps most importantly for this event, they are FUN. . We toiled over how to present these wines: a A masterclass, a bar takeover? Ultimately, however, we don’t want to overly formalise a style that creates so much joy but we also don’t want to confine something with infinite expressions to a passing trend in the night. Enter: Fête Nat. 15 wines from producers from New Zealand, France, Australia, Italy and South Africa made with varying grape varietals and philosophies. Come taste leisurely, ask some nerdy questions, taste again, and nibble on some bites. This Saturday, February 2nd at the Wine Sentience Hub - link in bio. Bonne Fête!
Kicking off #sommit 2019 with a welcome from the top of #tematapeak @hawkesbaywine #nzwine
Skin-Fermented whites; also known as Orange Wines or more traditionally Amber Wines; are an interesting interaction of tradition, revival and experimentation. In many ways, it’s easiest to think of them as proto-whites, but they’ve also evolved and changed - both in technique and style - over the millennia. Their traditional incarnation in the amphora wines of Kakheti, Georgia date back thousands of years. These techniques are echoed and adapted by some producers in Italy but rarely mimicked outside Europe. However, the softer aromatic wines associated with the Mediterranean have stylistically influenced the kind of orange wines made in the New World. On Tuesday 22nd January, join Stephen Wong - Wellington’s resident Master of Wine - on a masterclass exploring these iconoclastic wines. Pictured here (with a Georgian drinking horn!) are six of the eight wines including some absolute benchmark classics; Pheasant’s Tears Rkatsiteli 2016 Franco Terpin Quinto Quarto Rebula 2015 Josko Gravner Anfora Ribolla 2007 Arianna Occhipinti SP68 Bianco 2016 De Martino Viejas Tinajas Muscat 2016 Millton Libiamo Gewürztraminer 2015 Cambridge Road Down the Rabbit Hole (2017) Elisabetta Foradori Fontanasanta Nosiola 2015 Tickets are available on our website, via the link in our profile! . . . #orangewine #amberwine #winetasting #masterclass #wineeducation #sommelier #wellington #naturalwine #georgianwine #friuli #slovenia #martinborough #nzwine #chile #muscat #gravner #amphora #winesentiencehub

We are all packed up and finished for the remainder of 2018. Thanks for all your support this year. We will be back on partial hours from the 2nd January. Have a fantastic end of year. If you are heading off for summer break (like us), have a great holiday, drink well, find peace and look after each other. See you all in 2019!😊❤️. . . #summer #shutdown #lastdayofwork #shutthedoor
