We all like to collect stuff. I have an affliction for grapevines. Les Trois Enfants - The Three Kids tells a little story. Clos Monique comprises a selection of many different clones of Gewurztraminer, Viognier, and Muscat à petits grains, together they weave a delightfully aromatic wine.

Unique to New Zealand, however common practice in Alsace, we pick and press these grapes altogether, and then ferment them so. Their different personalities have been ‘eleve, or brought up, together into an exotic wine of great harmony.
Displaying spice, ginger, and pear, waxy broad opulence with tremendous fruit weight and a rich aftertaste. A complete intoxication of a serious affliction.

In keeping with the immediate trend, this wine has been sealed with a Stelvin closure.
