Description
Bellbird Spring is a small, family-run operation in North Canterbury, New Zealand, established by Guy Porter and Sarah Adamson in 2005 with a focus on minimal intervention and traditional European methods. Their Aqua Vitae is a distilled grape spirit made using pomace from their organic vineyards, paying homage to ancient grappa and marc traditions. Distilled on-site using a small copper still and bottled without additives or flavouring, it is a clear, high-proof expression with intense purity, lifted floral aromatics, and a warm, clean finish ideal for sipping chilled or as a digestif.
