Our vineyard comprises 18ha of rolling land near Tasman Village in the top of the South Island. The gentle north-facing slope, the Moutere clay soils, and the mild maritime climate are what appealed to us when we purchased the land in 1999.
Everything that goes into producing a high quality wine begins in the vineyard.
Nestled into the hillside of the Tasman vineyard, our European-style winery is a direct reflection of everything we stand for – minimal interference with natural winemaking processes and treading lightly on Mother Nature. This results in pure and genuine wines.
The 600m² building can process up to 150 tonnes of grapes each harvest.
Resource conservation was core to the design. The winery is powered by solar energy and cleaned with treated roof water. And because it’s built into the hillside, it benefits from natural insulation and only uses minimal energy for heating and cooling.
The winery is also a fantastic spot to welcome visitors during our Tasting Days at Labour Weekend and Easter.
Our winemaking philosophy is about simple processes and minimal interference. We want to let the land and the fruit be expressed naturally.
At the winery, juices and young wines are transferred using gravity. Because of this gentle handling, the fining process has been largely eliminated. We have minimised mechanical handling and cut sulphur additions to the bare minimum.
Sustainable practices are the focus of everything we do at the winery and in the vineyard.
As a result, we have gained certification from Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand.
