A full circle for us, heading back to where Konpira Maru started, with all the fruit being sourced from Chalmers’ organic Merbein vineyard.
As always, a bloody pleasure dealing with this iconic wine family who yet again churned out some amazing fruit matched perfectly to our specs. The fruit quality could only be matched by the big man himself, giving us a call to discuss the origins of our name, Konpira Maru. Turns out Bruce owned his own Konpira Maru vessel back in the day during his time in Port Moresby!
Watermelon rind, Orangina and Redskin. A little more subtle than it sounds but a totally delicious combination. Well-integrated carbonation with quite a fine bead for a pet nat. Not a lot of yeast funk, more about the fresh, bright aroma and dangerously drinkable (dare we say smashable?) mouth feel. – Konpira Maru
