Our home is Hawke’s Bay – the second-largest wine-producing region in New Zealand and is home to some of the oldest wineries still in existence. The region covers a total land area of 1.4million hectares on 350km of Pacific Ocean coastline. Four major rivers flow down from the mountains and their meandering paths have created a range of soils.
Our three estate vineyards are all with the Hawke’s Bay’s Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing Region®.
In 2001, wine producers and winegrowers with land in this special area, formed the Gimblett Gravels Winegrowers Association in order to, collectively, promote wines from this special area to the world.
Gimblett Gravels wines are based on the ultimate designation of their district according to a tightly specified soil type. The Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing District, covering 800ha, is strictly determined by the gravelly soils laid down by the old Ngaruroro River, which was exposed after a huge flood in the 1860’s.
