BRIGHTSIDE WINES
The Brightside range of wines was introduced in 2007. The name is made up from a combination of "Bright" from Brightwater and "Side" from Westside which is the local name for the area where the new winery is situated.
Brightside wines are made in the popular premium style. Wines made exclusively from the Golden Hills vineyard are named accordingly. Apart from that the vineyard management and winemaking practices are the same as for Kaimira Estate.
The flavour profiles we seek are:
Nelson Sauvignon Blanc

Nelson Riesling
Delicate floral notes with a lush and juicy palate showing plenty of ripe citrus in the tangelo/mandarin spectrum with a light mineral acidity balancing the dash of sweetness and smooth texture. Can be cellared for 5-7 years.
Nelson Unoaked Chardonnay
