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 inspired blend of 75% Pinot Blanc sourced from a unique vineyard in Banks Peninsula and 25% Pinot Noir – the same stuff that James uses for his Petina Pet Nat. Utterly delicious, this is going to be just the ticket for those long summer days, think juicy peach, watermelon, citrus, a hint of coconut with salivating soft acidity and a clean, very moreish finish.

James Graves-Opie, Winemaker notes (2023 Vintage)
"Banks Peninsula and North Canterbury. Pinot Blanc + Pinot Noir. Pinot Blanc from the Bentwood Vineyard grown atop volcanic soils in Banks Peninsula. The majority of this wine is Pinot Blanc made to echo Chardonnay, the late addition of 25% early picked direct press blanc de noir rose from the Barbour Vineyard on the slopes of North Canterbury steered the wine toward a more delicate and lively wine mirroring a Coteaux Champenois. All barrel fermented with minimal battonage. 6 Months in oak. White peach, strawberry, coconut and lifted white floral aromas with soft acidity and persistent minerality."

92/100 Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front, July 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Peach blossom and light yoghurty notes, rounded texture, quite focused on stone fruit with a hint of underripe pineapple, waxy skin and general plushness with a ginger bite and almond to finish. A very nice, curious drop."

David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, June 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Pinots 2023 is sourced from Banks Peninsula and North Canterbury. Pinot Blanc and 25% Pinot Noir. It starts off with funky aromatics, quite skinsy but bright. A dry, pinchy acidity makes it quite toothsome. Lemon peel, cheesecake, white peach. There is a delicate frisson of energy to the palate, where minerals and oyster shell flavours emerge."

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.
