Grapes for the top of the South

Not that it should surprise me but with the fantastic Latitide-41 in Picton now selling LisaSarah art, the grape art is selling like hotcakes down there.

Designed primarily as a commission with a vintner from the US, I thought the grape art would be a huge hit here in NZ. The detail is awesome and the syrah, chardonnay and cabernet grapes depicted accurately - thanks to Kiki from California.

They are finally coming into their own with the mainlanders from the top of the south and I couldn't be happier, seeing as they are a personal favourite.
