Pollen is a wonderfully named and very tasty 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Riesling that just works! This is the fourth release of this wine and is the best iteration to date. It really is like having the best of both worlds in your glass, and it's wines like this that make us wonder why we don't see more white blends around the place!
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"We're Lauren and Jim! We've collectively worked across the beer, wine, hop, and malt industries for 10+ years and have now landed in the rich fruit basket that is Nelson, Aotearoa New Zealand. We farm our own organic vineyard with biodynamic practices and make minimal intervention wine.
Our flagship salty white blend returns: 50% Chardonnay and 50% Riesling from the dry-farmed, organic Weka Vineyard in Upper Moutere. The warm, dry 2024 season gave us a little more ripeness, bringing waxy lemon phenolics, tropical lift, and stone fruit through the mid-palate – all wrapped up with that unmistakable saline finish. Wild fermented, aged in neutral oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered."
