UNKEL Life on Mars White is a cosmic riff on Nelson’s diverse soils — a playful yet serious blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. It feels at once grounded and a little untethered, buzzing with energy and texture.
Zesty citrus and orchard fruit lead — think lime blossom, green apple, and pear — while tropical hints of passionfruit and guava from Sauvignon Blanc slip in around the edges. Riesling drives with nervy acidity, Pinot Gris brings gentle weight, Chardonnay adds a silken core, and Sauvignon Blanc lifts it all with aromatic snap. The palate is bright, layered, and just wild enough to keep you reaching back for another sip.
Versatile and refreshing, it’s the kind of white that can open a meal or carry it through — perfect with grilled fish tacos, crunchy salads, or soft, tangy cheeses. A bottle that feels fresh, offbeat, and utterly alive.
