GRAVA CARBÓNICA 2025

Al and Karla believe wine is a full sensory experience — shaped not only by taste, sight, and smell, but also by sound and touch. From the snap, crackle, pop of malolactic fermentation to the crunch of stony gravel underfoot, their wines are grounded in the living character of their environments.

For over twenty years, they have crafted wines in both Aotearoa and Spain, embracing the cultural exchange this brings. Guided by respect for nature and a philosophy of working hard while keeping life simple, their aim is to create wines that are conduits for easy, enjoyable moments — the best each land can offer, shared in good company.

Grava Carbónica Pinot Noir is a vibrant, drink-now style inspired by the carbonic wines of Beaujolais. Organic and vegan-friendly, it brims with juicy cherry, raspberry and redcurrant flavours, complemented by subtle spice and a hint of savoury complexity. Light-bodied with soft tannins, bright acidity and a fresh, clean finish, it's delicious lightly chilled and made for relaxed drinking with friends.
