When a Pinot isn’t quite enough, Park Big Red steps in. It’s Merlot, mostly, but with a splash of Pinot Noir and Tempranillo to keep things interesting. It’s bold and mouth-filling while remaining exceptionally well-balanced with ripe red fruits, a touch of violet, bright acidity and smooth, fine tannins. A wine that’s full of flavour with tremendous carry. Effortless drinking.
Park Wines is an ongoing natural wine project between two great mates Dan and Jos.
Dan Gillett started Wine Diamonds nearly ten years ago and makes wine under a number of different labels, and Jos Ruffell co-founded a brewery called Garage Project and at one point got pretty into making wine too. Seeing the need for locally-made, approachable (and affordable) natural wines that showcase the style and terroir, they combined forces (and wines), bringing together organic fruit from their two BioGro certified vineyards in Nelson and Marlborough, and making them together in Marlborough.
This is their second drop and is a suite of all six styles of wine we know and love. Fizz, White, Orange, Rosé, Chilled Red and a Big Red too. Park Wines are made to be fun, easy-drinking and embrace all of what brought Dan and Jos together in the first place: good time, delicious, adventurous natural wines to enjoy with friends around a dinner table, by the pool or on a sunny blanket at the park.
The Park Wines are all natural wines. Organic grapes, wild fermented, with minimal intervention and minimal added sulphites. They have been bottled with harmless, fine sediment and they love oxygen too. They will continue to open and unfurl in the glass.
