Unit price perFrom the winery...
Founder, Philippa was raised on a farm just outside of Lawrence, Central Otago's first gold-rush town. Well before it was ‘the right thing to do’, Philippa’s parents farmed holistically and with respect to the environment and animals, so it was perfectly natural for Philippa to follow suit on her vineyard.
Today, Domaine Rewa produces over 15,000 bottles each year, including Single Vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.
Varieties : Merlot 81%, Cabernet Franc 13%, Malbec 3%, Cab Sav 3%
"Our Merlot Cabernet Franc comes from our Cornerstone vineyard growing in Hawke's Bays' famed Gimblett Gravels appellation. An area renowned for producing excellent hot climate reds. We think Cornerstone is the jewel in the appellation's crown but there again we are rather biased!
In our Iris blend, the Merlot sets up the palate with ripeness and structure while the Cabernet Franc brings its sweet dried basil notes to create our deliciously good medium-bodied red"

Unit price perPetillant natural is French for naturally lightly sparkling wine made in the bottle, similar to champagne, only typically cloudy due to slightly different winemaking methods. This lively fresh new comer is a dry, light bodied blend of three grapes, all from Alsace producer Emile Boeckel. Those grapes are Auxerrois, Sylvaner and Savagnin rose. Average vine age is 50 years and the wine is a lovely alternative to light sparkling wines to drink year round.
