Description

The Leveret brand is a descendant of the award-winning Coniglio range. The word “leveret” means young hare, three of which can be found dancing on the bottle’s label. The ears of the hares connect creating a triangular symbol that was used by the tin merchants of Devon, traders on the Silk Road.

With its own sense of history, and coming from an up-standing family, we’re excited to present a premium and reserve option for the Leveret brand.

Wine Review

There’s no mistaking the fragrances of sweet oak and baking spices as the aromas invade the palate. Scents of roasted fresh peaches and nectarines along with baked apples and citrus fruits follow. On the palate a fuller-bodied satin textured wine with fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Acidity layers on for contrast and the oak along with some finer tannins follow. Balanced and well made, ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027.

Vineyards and Winemaking

This wine is from Chardonnay grapes grown in our Riverview vineyard.
The grapes were partially hand harvested and transported to our Riverview winery. A portion of the fruit was pressed direct to barrel where it was allowed to undergo wild fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine was inoculated for Malolactic fermentation.
After approximately 9 months in oak, the wine was transferred to our Katikati winery for finishing and bottling in May 2023.
