Konpira Maru Tears in Rain

Tears in Rain is a unique and experimental wine that takes you on a journey of bold flavours and intriguing complexity. Originating from a forgotten barrel of Friulano at the Whitlands vineyard, this wine surprises with its passionfruit, pine, and honeyed granny smith apple notes. The palate offers a delightful balance of sharp preserved lemon, tangy saltiness, and a nutty depth with an unexpected citrus concentration. A touch of volatility on opening adds character, which dissipates with some air, revealing its true nature. This wine is not only ideal as an aperitif (perfect with oysters) but also elevates a dry martini – try it in the Barrys in Tears cocktail. A true experiment in oxidation, this wine is wild, free-spirited, and absolutely unforgettable.
