wine

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines.  Since our first vintage in 2012, the evolution of the vines and wines with each vintage enthrals us, and provides us with the best reason for us to keep growing the best grapes we can.

vineyard

Our vineyard is a 3ha site located on the banks of the Cardrona River in Wanaka, Central Otago.  Planted in 2009 on remnants of alluvial outwash channels from the last glacier advance we exhibit a lot of variability in the soil which translates into variabilty in vine growth and grape development.  Surrounded by beautiful mountains which never cease to amaze.

people

Small vineyard, small family, but there's a job for all ages, be it pruning, bunch thinning, bud rubbing or wire lifting.  Living on the vineyard means we live and breathe the life of our grapes.
