| Concept | What smells like the ocean and grabs you with both bracingly strong arms before planting a faintly sweet kiss on your forehead? Why Billy Stairmand, aka Billy the Kid, of course- New Zealand’s raddest surf prodigy since the platypus upset the entire field at the Marlborough Masters contest in 1963. He’s eminently kiwi, through and through with a disarming smile that indicates: it’s time to have some fun. His extra crisp lines through the surf bring the air and water and he into one mellifluous extension of the very environment he’s mastered. Oh Billy, I’d like to take you home every night. And you can, in a bottle, named Otto. |
| Vineyard | Estate grown and sustainably farmed. Rapaura vineyards produce very pretty wines due to the free draining nature of the soils. Omaka vineyard soils have a higher clay content, producing wines with more power on the palate. All blocks are fermented separately. Fermentation vessels are predominantly stainless steel, with a very small percentage in French Oak, to contribute a layer of texture. Fermentation takes place at approximately 15 degrees Celsius and lasts approximately 3 weeks. Skin contact is avoided and the wine rests on lees for approximately 6 weeks. Lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling. |
| Producer | OCD is the wine that launched Com munal Brands. Inspired by Melissa Saunders’ obsessive nature about wine, her friend and business partner, Chris Antista, created a wine in her honor: OCD. She applied said obsessive nature to find the right juice for our eponymous brand, ultimately finding a warm connection in her husband’s native New Zealand. The name? You’ll have to ask the authorities about that ;-). |
