--------THE PRODUCER--------
Kindeli
Kindeli are wines made by Alex Craighead who resides in Nelson, New Zealand. He hilariously puts 100% grapes on the label which just emphasises his ethos for low/no intervention into the wines and producing the most 'natural' wines as possible. The result is a range of tasty and very pure wines.
--------THE REGION--------
Nelson
Located in the north-west of South Island, this warm enclave is hemmed in by Mount Arthur and the Southern Alps. Riesling has found its feet among the free-draining, stony silt soils while Gewürztraminer also shows potential.
