Description

Supernatural Wine Co. is a producer of certified organic, naturally vinified, low sulphur white and skinfermented wines from a north-facing hillside estate in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. Established by the Collinge family – Ginny and Jeremy and son Gregory – in 2009 when they decided to to stop selling off the grapes from their estate vineyards and start producing their own wines. The family’s Millar Estate, overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Hawke’s Bay, is one part agrotourisim haven, one part art-house, and one part boutique winemaking facility. Their winemaking philosophy relies on great terroir and traditional processes. The aim is to make all wines at Supernatural Wine Co. as naturally as possible in order to produce true terroir driven wines. Vineyards are dry farmed, and yeasts for fermentation are gathered from among the vines. No fining or filtration take place during vinification. The focus is to produce dry, aromatic and skin-fermented white wines in a very clean and direct style. Supernatural Wine Co. obtained full organic certification with BioGro New Zealand in March 2015 and commenced biodynamic farming practices in 2015.
