Grown on the foothills of Mt Karioi, overlooking the restless Ruapuke swell, the unique character of our wines is defined by this steep, windswept and unforgiving terrain. Handpicked and handcrafted at our home, we make our small batch releases with a true artisan approach.
Join us in our welcoming guest spaces to experience this remote, peaceful location for yourself. Book a time to taste our wines or stay a little longer in our private accommodation. We are just 30 minutes drive from the coastal town of Raglan and only 5 minutes from the fierce and beautiful Ruapuke surf beach.
Our surprising location might hint at the fact that we’re not-so traditional when it comes to growing grapes and crafting wine.
We’re fascinated by the process and the problem solving that goes into growing in this challenging terrain. It’s important to us that our wine represents what the area offers, with as little interference into that process as possible. We love the challenge of making this happen on a smaller scale, questioning conventional wisdom and working with the equipment and resources we’ve got.
And while we’re committed to producing premium wines, we’re unapologetically authentic in our approach. That means we’re less worried about typical wine-tasting rituals or fancy French terms, and more focused on simply doing things our own way and defining new rules in the pursuit of great wine.
