The prospects for vintage 2024 are bright, with exceptional grapes brimming with natural acidity and concentrated flavors. We eagerly anticipate the unveiling of this vintage, which promises to deliver exquisite wines that truly capture the essence of our craft.

Marlborough Harvest

Amidst the rolling vineyards and sun-kissed landscapes of Marlborough, we find ourselves at the midpoint of the vintage.

 

Despite facing early obstacles, the vineyards have thrived in the radiant embrace of the sun and some chilly mornings, producing grapes of exceptional intensity and flavour. Our delicious Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grapes have matured splendidly, presenting vibrant flavours, fruity characteristics, and invigorating acidity.

The Gisborne harvest has drawn to a close, marking the culmination of a season filled with dedication and hard work.

 

Amidst the whims of the weather throughout the year, Gisborne’s vineyards have stood steadfast, under the seasoned guidance of our viticulturists. With the sun’s nurturing rays enhancing the vines, New Zealand’s unofficial Chardonnay Capital is buzzing with excitement; poised to deliver rich, bold Chardonnay’s brimming with character and charm once again.

Hawkes Bay Harvest

The Hawke’s Bay harvest is almost finished, bringing an end to another successful season in the vineyards.

 

Despite Mother Nature’s mood swings, the vineyards have yielded grapes of extraordinary taste and colour. The prolonged sunshine hours have nurtured exceptional richness in our red grape varietals, including Merlots, Cabernet Sauvignons, and Syrahs. This concentration ensures that our red wines will boast a depth of flavour and hue sure to inspire.
