Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Able clone. The basis of this wine is the synergy between alcoholic and carbonic fermentation. Carbonic fermentation (think Beaujolias) achieves the lifted aromas of maraschino cherry, clove. The synergy creates a lovely silky, supple texture. 10% foot crush, 20% destemmed, 70% whole bunch. Basket pressed. Bottled February 2023. Mineral. Cherry. Sweet salty licorice. Raspberry. Soft tannin. Brooding."

92/100 Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Forest berries, mossy wood, fresh mountain herbs, all in all savoury, sandy texture, light in a way but refreshing, slightly meaty and pushing that wet forest floor vibe far and well. Very nice drop. All is brighter now."

David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, June 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Ernest Pinot Noir 2022 is made from Abel clone grapes. There is a touch of carbonic fermentation and whole bunch character here, with cloves, cotton candy, pickled cherries and orange peel – the perfume is terrific. Light on its feet, but building through the palate. The tannin that is here is long, fine and a touch prickly. Finishes with a chinotto dryness that contrasts well with the bloodiness of the fruit."

93/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, June 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"This is sappy and tense, fresh and lively. Sour cherry, pomegranate juice, a bit of clove spice here. Washes around the palate nicely, some grippy webs of tannin, a bright, lightly amaro-tinged finish. Feels refreshing and kinda elegant. Has some good mojo. Great drinking, is the easy take away message."

93/100 Jane Skilton MW, Wine Magazine, October 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"‍Plenty of whole cluster fruit has given this vividly fruited wine a real lift on the nose with lavender florals sitting alongside dark berry fruit. Edgy and bold with a lovely crunchy spine of acid."

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.
