Description

"This organically grown Grüner Veltliner pretty much landed in my lap during the 2021 vintage season and I couldn't wait to take on this new challenge. The grower is a passionate, organic farmer up in Matakana and just didn't have the capacity to make any wine that year. I happily took on the challenge and had a vision in my mind that came to fruition finally in the end of 2021 as the bottles came off the bottling line. 

​

As is the case with all the Filigree range the focus here was on texture. With a variety that is slowly springing up all across New Zealand and that has similar flavour nuances to Sauvignon Blanc, my inspiration was certainly coming from barrel fermented wines such as Bordeaux blanc and Poully-Fumé. One had to be slightly deft of hand with a more delicately aromatic variety such as Grüner Veltliner so I only did a 15% new oak component, and gentle lees stirring for 4 months. Additionally a 1% carbonic maceration and skin contact ferment had a tiny yet mighty impact on the aromatics and flavours on the palate. 

​

Think tobacco leaf, lemon grass and green pear skin on the nose followed by lemon zest, pickled quince, a sprig of thyme and a crack of white pepper on the palate. The new oak quietly supports this aromatic variety by providing silken tannin through the mid palate and finishes with a nuance of smokey, freshly baked, salted brioche. "

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Moi Wines

Moi Wines provides a locally made, focal point, artisan wine. 

The aim is to bring people together for those special moments while cherishing the Auckland terroir in the form of small batch premium wines. 

"Yes, "moi" is the french translation for "me" but Moi Wines is not all about me. M O I is an acronym for "Moment of Impact" which is what I believe the wine should provide on the palate upon first sip. I want to make a positive impact in this world and wine is one way I know how to do that. Watch this space to how that impact will grow and evolve."

- Renée

Meanwhile the wine bottle in itself is a piece of artwork – every element is considered, contributing to the overall impact of the art piece.
Grown locally, produced locally, sold locally and supporting local business restaurant partners, we ARE local.

"These wines are my opportunity to express my creativity and in turn the terroir of my home in Auckland. 

Make sure you cherish these wines with good food, and even better company."
- Renée


The story of Moi Wines really began with a young Renée sneaking around under the house in the dirt and dust stumbling across her dad's stash of wine.
