A Family Involvement

A personal touch in the family run vineyard, is seen in the naming of the wines.

They have been chosen using the youngest generation of the family eg.... Molly's Paddock Merlot, Sequioa Grove Rose, Conor's Block Chardonnay, Christian's Plateau Chardonnay, Finlay's Field Pinot Noir, Micheal's Meadow Syrah, Monty's Match Syrah Cabernet Blend, Nikolai's Hill Sauvingnon Blanc, and Lily's Late Harvest Rose.

This year for the first time we will be harvesting our Pinot Gris and Leopold's name will be going on this wine. The children are encouraged during harvest to participate, and therefore feel personally involved in making their namesake wines.

This will be our first year that we will add desert wines to our range. We invite you to purchase any of our wines via email, fax, or phone. Free delivery within New Zealand with a case purchase or more.


Kind regards,
