The vines here range in age from 35 to 108 years old, many planted on their original rootstock. Throughout their vineyards they encourage the humble dandelion among the vines as they suppress winter weeds and provide mulch in summer. At the winery, whole bunches were hand harvested, gently crushed and naturally fermented in open fermenters for eight days. The cap was hand plunged twice a day before the fruit was carefully pressed off the skins using a basket press into a mix of new and previously filled French oak barriques to finish fermentation. After 18 months' maturation and racking in the same oak, the wine was bottled without filtration or fining, to capture the true essence of the vines. Generous, mouth-filling sweet blackberries, raspberries and plums cover the palate with lashings of sweet spice.

The French term Crémant may only be used to describe a specific type of sparkling wine and must meet exacting production methods to maintain the integrity of the name. These include a second alcoholic fermentation in the bottle and a maturation on yeast lees of not less than nine months. A similar set of standards apply to the vinification, including hand harvesting and whole bunch pressing. As the term implies, the taste should be creamy. To use the term Kumeu Crémant all the fruit used to make these wines must come from the estates vineyards at Kumeu River. The grapes are all hand harvested, gently pressed and spend 3 years on yeast lees before disgorgement to create a deliciously textural and refreshing sparkling wine.

It is from the Kakheti region, where the vines dig deep into black slate soils, producing a wine that is powerful, inky, and unapologetically bold. The grape here is Saperavi, one of the few varieties in the world with red flesh as well as red skin. On arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo a rigorous selection on a sorting table before whole bunches are placed into 2,500-litre qvevri to ferment with indigenous yeasts. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the qvevri are sealed to allow malolactic fermentation to take place. This usually finishes in December, after which the wine remains on skins and stems until March. Half of the wine is then transferred to new qvevri for 15 months’ ageing, while the remainder is aged in second-fill 500-litre French oak barrels for 10 months before being returned to qvevri for further refinement.The final blend is then bottled and aged for over a year in bottle prior to release. The Bedoba Saperavi Reserve is teeming with savoury complexity: think crushed wild bramble, cracked black pepper, and dried alpine herbs. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between power and elegance, with bold, spiced fruit flavours harmonising with a refined minerality and silky texture. The gentle influence of low-toast oak adds layers of subtle complexity enhanced by the long, structured finish. A wine that demands food and good company. It’s silky enough to drink on its own but has the backbone to stand up to the richest stews or a charred steak.

The wine itself is just as characterful and uplifting as the story behind it. Patiently rested in the cellars for years before release, that extended ageing is the secret behind its remarkably complex and luxurious style. Pouring a gorgeous pale gold, the first sip delivers an incredibly vibrant hit of crisp green apple and zesty citrus. Because it has spent so much time developing, those fresh orchard fruits are beautifully wrapped up in rich, mouth-watering notes of freshly baked pastry, toasted almonds, and a touch of honey.
