Park Chilled Red is a blend of Nelson-grown Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewürztraminer and Marlborough-grown Pinot Gris. There’s some alchemy at play here, with the dominant morello cherry notes lifted effortlessly by the three white aromatic varieties. For grape nerds this is akin to a Loire Grolleau; light and fresh, fruit and spicy, thirst quenching and invigorating. Chill it down, sip it back, enjoy the ride.
Park Wines is an ongoing natural 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.
