Description

Kunoh Narcissus 2021

Kunoh Narcissus is a natural New Zealand wine created by Yuki Nakano.

50% Viognier, 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Noir. The fruit for this wine comes from Upper Moutere in New Zealand.

Taste Profile: Honeysuckle, brioche, a touch of mead, round and nicely concentrated, with fresh finish. Made by Yuki Nakano a former Sommelier from Kyoto's top restaurants, now working on New Zealand's south island.

Winemaking Process: The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified separately. Viognier and Sauvignon blanc are barrel fermented and aged in barrels for 6 months, and then in steel for 3 months, total of 9 months. The Pinot noir part is direct pressed (blanc de noirs) and added to the blend. No filtration, fining and no additives.

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
