OUR PLACE
The Wairau Valley
Our winery is nestled amongst our vineyards in the Wairau Valley, the heart of the Marlborough winegrowing region in New Zealand.
The fruit for our wines is harvested in these vineyards surrounding the winery, meaning minimal transportation of the grapes therefore little use of energy and transport.
Here for good
We’re continuing to nurture the thriving wetlands we’ve established beside our winery.
We’ve planted over 2250 plants and eradicated 69 pest species since 2020.
We have seen an increase in wild birds nesting in the wetlands, and a proliferation of small native seedlings and water filtration.
An independent report has found our wetlands to be in great health and one of the best quality wetlands in New Zealand (Future Ecology).
The Wairau River flows from the mountains in the west out east to the Pacific Ocean.
Our soils are shallow, stony and fast-draining producing exceptional wines that show flavourful fruit characters that are distinct to the Wairau Valley.
