Tasting Notes
The Murgon Mango was one of our first Pet Nats way back in the early days. It came to fruition purely through a thirst for something fresh and fizzy to drink in the hot
sun of vintage on the South Burnett.
We had a clear vision in mind, a vinous love child of two of our favourite beverages, XXXX Gold and Solo. Something light enough you could put a few away and keep working, something fresh and clean with subtle aromatics and bright acidity, something with gentle carbonation so you could slam it down fast.
This vintage looks a little different to the first edition but we stayed true to style to create a unique wine-cider hybrid Pet Nat. Semillon and pears combine here to create something so smashable we wish we could have packaged it in wide mouth cans. - Winery Note
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
