Not your typical New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Zealandia is Theo Coles’ skin-fermented take, where the fruit spends weeks on its skins to become a genuine orange wine rather than the usual zippy white. Coles farms organically and biodynamically in North Canterbury and works with almost no inputs: wild fermentation, minimal sulfur, unfined and unfiltered. The skin contact swaps the variety’s familiar gooseberry brightness for something earthier and grippier. Expect charred jalapeno, citrus leaf, and a savory, saline edge. One of The Hermit Ram’s most popular bottles, and an easy gateway into orange wine.
