“Whakapiripiri Mai” means “to gather” or “to bring together” in Māori. The exotic name reflects the union of two very different vineyard personalities: Les Cailloux and Clos des Plantes. The result is an explosively vibrant, unique, and balanced Chenin Blanc, whole-cluster pressed in a traditional wooden basket press, then fermented and aged in tanks until the following May.
