Formerly of Valmont Wines, Bryterlater is the brainchild of James Graves Opie, a former sommelier turned winemaker originally from Victoria who now resides in North Canterbury - in the Waipara Valley. Cool climate wines raised from certified organic sites. There are three main soil types in the valley, which is reported as having the most diverse soils of any of New Zealand’s wine regions, primarily derived from limestone.
These are earnest, pure & deeply satisfying. The natural acidity displayed across the wines serves as an elegant & lasting framework, balanced by texture & complemented with a bounty of detail.
