ADD TO FAVOURITES

The Bryterlater label by sommelier turned winemaker James Graves-Opie is certainly one to keep an eye on. The wines are made using organically farmed grapes from select sites within the North Canterbury region and have quickly become sort after because of their complexity, sense of place and outright drinkability. The Brambles range is the slightly more playful set of wines from James, giving him the chance to concoct wines that maximise deliciousness and he has certainly done that with this terrific expression of skin contact Pinot Gris.

James Graves-Opie, Winemaker notes (2023 Vintage)
"A field blend of Pinot Blanc from the Bentwood Vineyard and Pinot Gris from the neighbouring Cross Hares vineyard. Picked on the same day. Whole bunch Pinot Gris placed gently in amphora with direct press Pinot Blanc pressed atop. Fermented on skins in amphora for 6 months. The wine was then settled and blended with a puncheon of pinot blanc. Apricot yoghurt, soft chalky tannin, crystallized ginger, peach ice tea salivating acidity."

91/100 Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front, July 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Orange in colour and orange in flavours and aromas. Texture is a bit sandy, smooth but not quite fine-fine. Mouth is filled with jasmine green tea and mandarine peel perfume. It’s an orange wine light on the tongue with appetite-inducing bitterness and hints of barky spice as added interest. Easy and pretty style."

David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, June 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Brambles Orange 2023 is a blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris picked on the same day. Fermented on skins in amphora for 6 months, then settled and blended with a separate barrel of pinot blanc. A clean, even wine where you definitely feel the skin-contact phenolics as well. Juicy acidity and quite a grip through the palate. A depth and sweetness – peach, ginger, pineapple lumps, and just a fruit salad of flavours."

Bryterlater wines are crafted with intent, honesty, and deep respect for the process. Using organically farmed grapes from North Canterbury, they employ minimal intervention practices in the winery to let the wines speak for themselves. Embracing the unique character of each season, they produce vibrant spring wines and complex, age-worthy styles. Their goal is to create thoughtfully made, juicy wines that capture vineyard energy and bring immense joy to those who experience them.

And as for the wines? Petina Petillant Naturel Pinot Noir is poised and precise, barrel-fermented and bottled on lees for body and flavour. It's clear and clean with notes of raspberry cheesecake, Aperol, yogurt, and sea mist. Swell Petillant Naturel Sauvignon Blanc returns with a similar process, yielding a salty, lemon-lime, yogurt, and fresh acidity profile. Still Life Sauvignon Blanc offers tropical and citrus flavors with brioche and texture. Svelte Riesling is dry and textural with citrus and juniper notes.

Pinot blends offer white peach, strawberry, and coconut aromas. Ernest Pinot Noir features cherry, clove, and soft tannins, while Frederick Pinot Noir has dark fruits and fine tannins. Yonda Red Field Blend and Brambles Rose and Orange blends are vibrant, fresh, and complex, perfect for daily enjoyment.
