PRODUCER SHOWCASE : AMOISE
We’re excited to share these tiny batch, new vintage artisanal gems with you ! From Te Matau-a-Māui — the beautiful Hawkes Bay. Amy ‘Amoise’ Farnsworth focuses her extensive experience on capturing her grapes at the best possible moment so that her wines can be most expressive of the vintage. These are gently-made, low intervention, natural wines of quality + precision.
Listed in order of how we’d suggest you taste a flight of these three quite lovely, super drinkable wines — or you can do as some guests did yesterday and start with the Chenin and then double down on it….so good !
"I believe in capturing the grapes at the best possible moment so that my wines can be their most expressive of the vintage. Each growing season has a different story to tell. Often found working in the vineyards, I believe in connecting to the vines that produce my wines each year. My time living and working in various wine regions worldwide allowed me learn from hardworking vignerons who put their energies and efforts into the vineyards to enable them to simply guide their grapes to the winery and bottle with minimal intervention." — Amy
