Single Vineyard

Provenance and Passion

We have hand selected the very best vineyard sites in Gisborne from three distinct sub regions; Riverpoint, Hexton Hills and Patutahi. These single vineyard wines truly reflect the provenance. With their fruit-driven, approachable style they display the palate weight and texture we are renowned for. Distinctively Gisborne we enjoy making wines that you will enjoy with family and friends.
