KAIMIRA ESTATE WINESThe Kaimira Estate label was introduced in 1999 to promote a food friendly range of wines in a dry to slightly off-dry aromatic style. Wherever possible we aim to make these wines from grapes grown at our Brightwater vineyards. The flavour profiles we seek are as follows:
Brightwater Sauvignon BlancA vibrant, herbaceous, gooseberry/tropical fruit wine that will be best enjoyed within 1-2 years of bottling.
Brightwater RieslingWe make two styles of Riesling. One with refined and delicate lime and citrus characteristics and a bouquet that highlights the floral attributes of the grapes with underlying mineral notes and a low alcohol style called Iti™ (small/little) that has been awarded Gold for the first two vintages made. Both can be cellared for 5-7 years.
Brightwater Pinot GrisAn opulent and complex style that accentuates the mouth filling flavours of the grape. Pear, ginger, and nutty characters with a long finish. Can be cellared for 5-7 years.
Brightwater GewürztraminerTrue varietal aromas of rose and Turkish delight, with some lychee notes in a just off-dry style with floral and Turkish delight flavours persisting throughout the palate. Can be cellared for 3-5 years.Brightwater ChardonnayMade from Mendoza Chardonnay grapes to produce rich butterscotch, cornmeal and stonefruit flavours and a smooth finish that will continue to develop with bottle age over 5-7 years.
JUNE Méthode TraditionelleNew Zealand bubbly for that special occasion. Nutty complexity, citrus notes, good mouthfeel with lots of frothy mousse. Dry. Aged on lees for at least two years before disgorging.
Vintners Selection Pinot NoirMade and matured in French oak for at least twelve months before bottling and presenting a soft, aromatic dark cherry-plum flavour with strong colour and a long finish balanced with smokey oak overtones. Can be cellared for 5-7 years.
Brightwater SyrahDark and savoury with black pepper and cherry flavours and a full-bodied richness. In some vintages, Viognier adds a floral, perfumed softness and fullness to the texture. Can be cellared for 5-7 years.Vintage tasting notes for each wine are available at Kaimira Estate wine notes.
