Kindeli Wines

Kindeli wines are the product of Alex Craighead and Josefina Venturino. Drawn to low intervention wines & winemaking, there wasn’t a lot on offer in New Zealand, so they began to experiment in 2013, which became business in 2016 by buying a winery

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
