Buy Online15 Minute Bottles is a collaboration between two families, David Collins and Lana Kennett, and Tom Lascelles and Anne Kirsch. The project came about in Europe, when their paths crossed while Tom was working for Austrian, natural wine superstar, Claus Preisinger. With both couples coming back to New Zealand in 2021, they saw an opportunity to produce here the style of energetic, approachable natural wines they’d loved in Europe. With one family based in Canterbury, and the other in Central Otago, their intention is to produce multi-regional wines that are unfined, unfiltered with minimal added sulphites. David best explains the reason behind their name, 15 Minute Bottles –
"It’s rooted in the fun, energetic, thought provoking wine we fell for while in Europe. When we drank a banger, we would call it a '15 minute bottle' because it didn't hang around for long (enjoyed responsibly with a large group of friends of course)."
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"From a certified organic vineyard on the Pisa Range near Cromwell, the fruit was hand harvested, 80% whole bunch fermented for two weeks, wild-fermented in stainless steel before being racked to aged French oak for maturation. Unfiltered, unfined, minimal added sulphites, this is a light bodied, fruit-forward, fun expression of Central Otago. Can be served chilled too!"
