2022:

If the new wave natural wines of Tavel provide the inspiration for what we want to achieve with Love Letters, the 2022 has to be our most exciting release yet!

Big lifted aromatics of strawberry jam, glacé cherry, kirsch, hibiscus and rooibos with super juicy fruit and mouth-watering acidity on the palate. A smattering of Christmas spice and herbs de provence garrigue notes make this one of the most unique and delicious rosé wines in Aotearoa

750ml 13.5% Alc/Vol

2023:

100% pinot noir in the style of Tavel rosé

On the boundary of dark rosé and light red the 2023 Love Letters writes bursting berry fruit and hibiscus notes underlined by unique signature herbal spice

MW Stephen Wong described the 2022 vintage as "iconoclastic". This 2023 delivers again on everything the 2022 brought to the table and in our opinion more so

----ABOUT THE PRODUCER----

After spending a decade making wine in the Cahors region of South-West France, as well
as collectively working forty plus vintages across nine different countries; Simon and Lauren have returned back to New Zealand to make wine under their own label ‘A Thousand Gods’. Their aim is to make wines they can call their own, both representative of site, yet in their own way, surprisingly unique.

Working closely with their biodynamic grower in the Waihopai Valley of Marlborough, meticulously farmed grapes are hand-picked and undergo wild fermentation. No additions, fining or filtration processes are used. Instead, thoughtful guidance into becoming wines that are generous and approachable, yet
also complex and cellar-worthy.
