A Green Revolution

New Zealand is at the forefront of the New World Wines movement. The quality, taste and love that goes into making these wines is second to none.

When it comes to flavor, there is no more important ingredient in the production of wine than where your grapes are grown. Luckily for us, ours are grown and harvested at select vineyards within Marlborough’s breathtaking Wairau, Seventeen, Waihopai and Nelson’s Valleys. The Microclimates and soil types of these Vineyards all contribute towards the intense vibrancy of flavor that has become synonymous with Marlborough & Nelson wines the world over.

Five Reasons Why

We aim to be part of a growing trend to sustain brands through new environmentally sound ethics. A small step to take for a bigger, brighter future.

Five things you need to know about our Winery:

1. SUSTAINABLE FARMING: Where possible, we try not to use chemical fertilizers at our Vineyards. Instead we use Grape Marc – a bi-product of the wine making process – as a sustainable form of compost. Eventually we hope to cultivate the entire Winery using only organic methods. See public disclosure on sustainable farming

2. WATER MANAGEMENT: Our wastewater is irrigated onto a coppiced tree block, planted to form a renewable resource, next to the winery, creating a perfect environment for micro-flora to thrive.

3. CONSERVATION IS KEY: The restoration of a wetland habitat that sits beside our Winery has been achieved by the planting of over 4,000 native plants, giving diverse wildlife a self governed environment which, at the end of the day, benefits us all.

4. HEAT MANAGEMENT: We’re able to offset the amount of heat lost through refrigeration by putting it to good use in other areas of production, such as heating water to warm our fermentation tanks.

5. THE NEED TO RECYCLE: We make sure to recycle as much plastic, paper, cardboard, aluminum and glass as possible.
