Description

Unkle Wines Red "Jurassic" 2023

From Unkel Wines' "fun Uncle" series, they strive to make cruisy, fun & slightly wild wines, making minimal interventionist wines that work with Mother Nature, rather than being the overbearing parents of their grapes

Grape Varietals: Blend of Pinot Noir, Merlot & Gewurztraminer from Nelson, New Zealand.

Taste Profile: A Medium bodied red showing bright plum, cherry and bubble gum with a savoury tomato stalk and clove spice. Soft, fleshy and luscious with supple tannin.

Winemaking Process: The Fruit was de-stemmed and fermented on skins for 5-7 days and aged in a mixture of old puncheons and stainless steel.

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
