'Luna' is the newest member of the Jester family, offering a fresh interpretation of New Zealand's beloved Sauvignon Blanc. While staying true to the classic style, 'Luna' introduces a new dimension through a unique aging process that combines both barrel and tank, creating an exciting and textured expression of Nelson’s terroir.

This Sauvignon Blanc features the familiar tropical flavors of passionfruit and blackcurrant, alongside a subtle herbal and nutty edge. It’s a wine of tension and structure, with a rich mouthfeel, driven phenolics, and a burst of flavor that lingers on the palate.

Crafted with precision, the wine is direct pressed and aged for four months in a mix of old puncheons and barriques, before being transferred to stainless steel tanks for an additional seven months of aging. This method enhances its complexity and adds a layered, textural quality to the classic varietal profile. Perfect for those looking for a Sauvignon Blanc with a fresh twist.

About the Domaine:

Unkel, a playful take on the word "uncle," embodies a philosophy deeply rooted in respect for nature. In the vineyard, the focus is on working harmoniously with Mother Nature to cultivate the best possible fruit. Once the grapes enter the winery, the approach shifts to one of gentle guidance rather than control. Unkel takes on the role of that easy-going, fun, slightly wild family member who steps back and allows the wine to develop naturally through fermentation and aging.

The goal is to let the wine express itself authentically, capturing the true essence of the fruit. In essence, Unkel creates wines meant to be enjoyed in the company of friends and family, shared with joy, on any occasion, and with a smile.
