Nelson Pinot Noir (42%) was partially wholebunch pressed directly to old puncheons for wild fermentation. Whilst the remaining fruit was destemmed, wild fermented for 5 days & pressed off into old puncheons. Hawkes Bay Merlot (42%) was partially wholebunch pressed & aged in an old puncheon & an old hogshead. Whilst the remainder was carbonic macerated for 5 days. Pressed off & settled in tank for a week before being racked to old puncheons. Nelson Gewürztraminer (16%) was destemmed, skin fermented for 7 days & matured in old puncheons. The resulting wines were blended & settled in Spring prior to bottling. Unfined & unfiltered.
"Confectionary fruits open up to a juicy, bright, light red. Rhubarb, rose water and melon. A true fruit salad and one of our favourites that tastes like a mouthful of Skittles." - Rob
Rob Burley found his place in the wine world after working for a number of great like-minded producers abroad but it wasn’t until he moved to Australia and started to work for Bill Downie and Patrick Sullivan that the concept for Unkel Wines was born. He and his wife Kate recently returned to New Zealand in 2019 where their inspiration & devotion towards organic viticulture & heartfelt wines continues to unfurl.

SPÖN PICKS
SPÖN Bottle Shop & Wine Bar: Made for Discovery
A 50-seater wine bar; Inspired by the charming, drink-in bottle shops hidden throughout the cobblestone streets of Europe, explore a rotating world of natural, organic, rare & vintage wines, and craft beers sourced from Australia and across the globe.
Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
