Tasting Notes
A vivacious Pet Nat, but why listen to me when the boys at Konpira Maru have come up with this to describe their latest Pet Nat... "The moment when you stare deep into the distance with a singular intensity and, for a moment, glimpse the unglimpseable. A moment of divine inspiration, afflatus, a euphoric, splendorous glow of unexpected deep knowledge. What do you see? A rare, crystalline comprehension of the 4th dimension? A navigable path through a personal imbroglio? Me. I see a spectre of true magnificence, a vision of whimsical but strident beauty. The Mt Midoriyama Total Victory Pet Nat, presented in its total glory. Sagrantino and Vermentino conjugated by a delicate thread of acid. An other-wordly, transcendental liquefacted victual. What a time to be alive." Told you. Try it! - Chris L
Konpira Maru started, as many great ideas do, as an idea born from two mates having a beer at the pub.
Working in the retail, production and education sectors of the wine industry for many years, we were searching for our own creative outlet. Sharing similar viticultural, winemaking and beer-drinking values, we set out on our vinous journey and from these humble beginnings, produced the first vintage in 2014, which resulted in just 600 bottles.
We set out to make interesting wines with minimal intervention and maximum care. Wines that were full of character, with a focus on affordability and a high-drinkability factor.
Our goal was simple – to produce wines we wanted to drink and to inject a little fun into an industry often accused of taking itself too seriously.
Now we make wine from the South Burnett and Granite Belt regions in Queensland as well as Kilmore in Victoria, with the help of our crew of amazing growers. In 2016, we took on our own Whitlands vineyard, sitting high above the King Valley. Here we farm Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris organically on beautiful red soil, surrounded by stunning sub-alpine Eucalypt forest. A magic part of the world.
We hope you love 'em as much as we do. - Winery Note
