Primavera is Kindeli's seasonal pet-nat, made from a four-grape blend of Syrah, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay grown on Moutere Series clay and gravel soils in Upper Moutere, Nelson. The red varieties are whole-cluster pressed and the whites are soaked on skins overnight. Fermentation proceeds in stainless steel tank; when sugar reaches around 10 g/L the wine is bottled in early spring to finish fermenting in the bottle, trapping CO2 and producing natural carbonation. It is not disgorged, not fined, not filtered, and no sulfur is added.
The result is a lightly cloudy, low-alcohol pet-nat (10.5% ABV) with a deep raspberry-rose hue. Expect aromas of fresh strawberry, red berry, and pink pepper, with a juicy, crunchy texture and bright acidity. The wine has a reputation for being very lively under pressure, so open with care.
Kindeli's home vineyard in Upper Moutere has been certified organic since 1997, making it one of the oldest certified organic vineyards in New Zealand. Alex Craighead and Josefina Venturino also source fruit from a small number of other organic growers in the Nelson region. Vines are maintained using sulfur, seaweed, compost, bat guano, and copper only when strictly necessary. Cover crops of clover fix nitrogen between rows, and neighboring sheep graze the vineyard in spring to manage vigor and open the canopy.
The Primavera blend shifts from vintage to vintage. The 2022 follows the red-fruit, rose-hued style using Syrah and Pinot Noir pressed whole-cluster alongside skin-contacted Riesling and Chardonnay. Drink young and cold, straight from the fridge.
