2024 Bryterlater Swell Petillant Naturel, North Canterbury
2024 Swell is back, lime margarita with a side of salt. Whole bunch pressed and settled overnight. Barrel ferment until desired residual sugar is achieved. The wine then sits on lees in bottle going through autolysis to build the body and direct the flavour profile. The wine is then riddled and disgorged to remove the sediment. Clear. Clean.
Lime Margarita. Salty. Direct. Yogurt. Gripping acidity. Fresh. Clean. Salivating.
$44.99 each
Bryterlater
Bryterlater wines are made with intent, honesty, and an abundance of respect for the process. The winery works thoughtfully in the vineyard, using organically farmed grapes from select sites within the North Canterbury region.
The winery adheres to minimal intervention practices, in an endeavor to offer wines that speak for themselves, rather than the ego of their maker. They acknowledge whatever the season gives, and use it to guide the process and decisions.
Bryterlater finds great joy in making youthful vibrant wines released in the spring, but also relish the discovery of longer aging styles which demand more nurturing and patience before coming into their own.
The brand intends to create deeply considered, juicy wines that capture the energy of the vineyard, and bring immense joy to the beholder.
