Website Phone Email

Ata Rangi, meaning "dawn sky" or "new beginning" is a small New Zealand winery with a big reputation for serious Pinot Noir. Located at the southern end of the North Island, it is owned and managed by a family trio - Clive Paton, his wife Phyll and his sister Alison. Clive planted his first vines on a small, stony sheep paddock at the edge of the Martinborough village in 1980 as one of a handful of people who pioneered winegrowing in the area. Ata Rangi Pinot Noir is undoubtedly the flagship wine, and in 2010 was honoured with the inaugural Tipuranga Teitei o Aotearoa or "Grand Cru of New Zealand". With a skilled team in place, including dynamic winemaker Helen Masters, Clive now has more time to focus on his commitment to conservation and to the Ata Rangi alliance with Project Crimson.

Our iconic New Zealand winery celebrates over 25 years of world-class winemaking in the famed Gimblett Gravels winegrowing district of Hawke’s Bay. The Trinity Hill story began as an homage to the wines of the Northern Rhone when cuttings of Syrah from Hermitage, and Viognier from Cote Rotie were gifted to our founding winemakers. Our winemaking philosophy of “quality rather than quantity” is important, and controlled yields ensure the intensity of flavour and elegant styles for which Trinity Hill is renowned. It is said great wine is made in the vineyard, and our aim at Trinity Hill is to produce distinctive wines of elegance and power that reflect the character of each vineyard site. We have three vineyards in the unique grape growing Gimblett Gravels sub-region of Hawke’s Bay, and our icon wine, Homage, is recognised worldwide as one of the benchmark Syrahs produced.

Pinot Noir, one of the grapes that create the finest red wines in the world, is the type of red wine grape that I, Hiroyuki KUSUDA, like the best of all. My dream is to produce a Pinot Noir that can be acknowledged at the highest level. In order to pursue that dream, I immigrated to New Zealand with my family in May 2001, where I believe has one of the greatest potentials to grow Pinot Noir. Please keep an eye on KUSUDA WINES Pinot Noir.

In 1961, at just 21 years of age, George leased five acres of land from his father in Mangere, Auckland and started off with just an acre of vines. He harvested his first grapes in 1962 and made his first wine under the name Villa Maria. Throughout the 1960s Villa Maria was a one-man band, with George’s wife, Gail, supporting him in his venture. He made dry red and white wines, sourcing grapes from the greater Auckland regions. In the early 1970s he started to employ staff and the company began to expand rapidly. Today, Villa Maria employs more than 250 permanent staff and exports wine to over 50 countries worldwide.

Website Phone Email

Stonecroft is a small, family owned winery in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Current owners Dermot McCollum and Andria Monin took over in 2010 and live on Stonecroft’s Roy’s Hill vineyard with their two children. Andria is a New Zealander and Dermot is originally from Ireland; Dermot is both the winemaker and viticulturalist. Stonecroft was the first winery to be established in the Gimblett Gravels Wine Growing District® and it has the oldest Syrah vines in New Zealand. Stonecroft is well known for its Syrah, Zinfandel, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay wines. The focus at Stonecroft is obtaining great fruit from the vines, and then the wine making can then be non-interventionist with the emphasis on making wines which will cellar well. After taking over in 2010, the current owners converted the two original vineyards and winery to organic production and these are now fully certified organic with AsureQuality. A third, newly acquired vineyard is now in conversion. The total area planted is just over 10ha.

Our Riesling vines are amongst the oldest in Marlborough, planted in 1981 they were some of the first vines grafted on phylloxera resistant rootstock in the area. The original vineyard was established by Wellington engineer Rex Brooke-Taylor who took the name Framingham from his ancestral home town near Norwich, England. Our initial releases were produced using other wineries' facilities. The first wine released under the Framingham name was a 1994 Riesling. Our winery and tasting room were built in 1997, and a specialist red wine handling facility and barrel hall was added in 2002. We produced wine from our new winery on Conders Bend Road in the Wairau Valley for the first time in 1998. Today we are a family-owned Sogrape company, our range includes Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Viognier and Montepulciano.

Our story begins in the early 1990's with 'The Gang Of Four' - the owners of five newly-planted vineyards in Bannockburn. Upon a handshake they decided to work together to produce wine under one label. This handshake bound the owners of Molyneux, Mansons Farm, Verboeket Estate and Full Circle until 2004 when Mt Difficulty Wines Ltd was officially formed, and the majority of the individual vineyards passed into the ownership of the company. The hardest part for the Gang of Four was in choosing a name for the label.

Palliser Estate was founded in 1984 when we planted our first vines. Named after the dramatic Palliser Bay on the Wairarapa coast and its namesake Admiral Sir Hugh Palliser. Colleague and patron of Captain James Cook, Palliser was a brave visionary and distinguished leader. The name firmly connects us to our land, it honours our region and the pioneering spirit upon which New Zealand is founded. Our iconic crest reflects this. Inspired by the crest of Palliser’s Family, the Griffin - half Eagle, half Lion - is a symbol of boldness, intelligence and courage.

The largest Quartz Reef deposit in New Zealand lies beneath the vines at Bendigo Station. The Historic gold town on Bendigo was mined from 1862. Now the sun-drenched north facing slopes are becoming famous again... Named after New Zealand’s largest quartz deposit that lies beneath our vineyards at Bendigo Station, Quartz Reef has become the vessel for what winemaker Rudi Bauer calls - his search to make wines which exhibit “a symphony of flavours” that “capture attention and entertain so that you forget everything else”. Quartz reef was founded in 1996 and the principal partners are Rudi Bauer, Trevor Scott, John Perriam. Quartz Reef vinifies wines of outstanding flavour and intensity. There are currently 30 hectares under cultivation. The key to this distinction lies in the maturing sun drenched slopes situated at Quartz Reef’s Bendigo Estate vineyard. Under Rudi’s custodianship Pinot Noir becomes the essence of Central Otago whilst Pinot Gris takes on a rich textured dry style. All Quartz Reef wines benefit greatly from Rudi Bauer’s Austrian heritage exploring the many dimensions of the varieties.

Saint Clair Family Estate

579 reviews
Website Phone Email

Saint Clair Family Estate is owned by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, viticulture pioneers in Marlborough since 1978. Grapes were originally supplied to local wine companies; however a desire to extend the quality achieved in the vineyard through to the finished wine led to the establishment of Saint Clair Family Estate in 1994. The Saint Clair name originates from the vineyard property, first settled by the Sinclair family. Pioneer James Sinclair built one of the first homes in Blenheim and was closely associated with the early development of the town. Over time the name of the property reverted to the original Saint Clair. The company's mission is to create world-class wines that exceed their customers' every expectation. Neal Ibbotson combines his extensive viticultural expertise plus Marlborough’s mix of climate and soils with the talent of one of New Zealand’s leading winemaking teams, led by Hamish Clark. From 1994 when wines from the first vintage all won medals including gold, the name Saint Clair has been synonymous with quality and its award-winning record continues today.

From day one, we’ve known that we only have so many vintages on the planet, and we want to make each one exceptional. So, while a lot of people say great winemaking begins in the vineyard, for us it begins far earlier, high in the Southern Alps. It takes months for the pure water from these snowcapped mountains to filter through braided rivers and underground aquifers before making its way to us. But when it does, it emerges crystal clear at the Rapaura Springs that run through our home vineyard. Our label depicts the rocky aquifer and the pristine springs that connect it to our land. This water is a life force that feeds our vines, while the mountain-fed rivers that shape our land influence the soils we grow our wines in. Pure in flavour and their expression, our wines reflect our remarkable region. The purity of our springs is a daily reminder to protect our water and land, so we can continue to make every vintage count.

The Bostock organic story was born out of a love for the land and the love an inspirational woman had for her boys. The late Vicki Bostock loved the land and it was this certain piece of land in particular, which she fell in love with. Vicki’s Vineyard runs alongside the Bostock family home at Ngatarawa, positioned centrally within the Bridge Pa Triangle. Vicki was committed to protecting the soils here for future generations. It was Vicki’s passion for this land and her desire for safe, natural food that provided the inspiration for this wine. Johnny credits his late wife Vicki with igniting his passion for organics as she was so driven to ensure her family was eating safe, healthy food. Vicki loved fine wine and food and enjoyed hosting family and friends. In her memory, the Bostock wine savours all that she loved about the land and the beautiful bounty it can produce.

Puriri Hills makes luxurious blended red wines inspired by the grand crus of Pomerol and St Emilion, on the right bank of Bordeaux, France. The vineyard is set in green rolling hills southeast of Auckland, New Zealand, just outside of the village of Clevedon. From the main road, a long driveway climbs past vineyards which produced their first handmade, blended red wine in 1999. The scenery is spectacular. From the house you look north across the islands of the Hauraki Gulf to the craggy hills of the Coromandel Peninsula . To the east lie the Wairoa River Valley and the Hunua Ranges. It is a wonderful destination for travellers and wine lovers alike. Puriri Hills takes its name from the native Puriri trees growing on the 93 acre property. There are private walks through the vineyards, farmland and native bush from which this uniquely wild, yet gentle, countryside can be appreciated.

HEARTS IN MARLBOROUGH SINCE 1980, ROOTS IN CHAMPAGNE SINCE 1684. No.1 Family Estate is a specialist and boutique Méthode Champenoise winery founded by Adele and Daniel Le Brun. It is the only winery in New Zealand committed exclusively to producing premium Méthode Traditionelle wine. The award-winning winemaker has created wines that rival the best in the world using methods perfected over twelve generations by his family in Champagne. The first record of a Le Brun planting vines in Champagne is in 1684. From a young age, Daniel was immersed in the family business. After studying winemaking and working at the family winery, he visited New Zealand, saw the potential and emigrated. In 1980 he planted the first grapes dedicated to sparkling wine production in Marlborough’s beautiful Wairau Valley. Daniel pioneered the specific growing techniques and production methods at that time. He saw immediately that the climate and soils of Marlborough create a Methode Traditionelle with crisp acidity that would rival Champagne.

The Margrain vineyard, planted in 1992, was born from the passion for fine wine, good food and the country lifestyle held by husband and wife owners Graham and Daryl Margrain. They were part of the second wave of wine enthusiasts who came to Martinborough to follow on from the success of the pioneer wineries that had established themselves some 10 years previously. Having developed a love for the regions wines they came to realise the importance of the local climate plus the effects of the now famous Martinborough soil terraces. Winemaker Strat Canning came to them for their second production year and in 2016 worked his 21st vintage. His has been a key role in the development of both viticulture and wine style and is keen to ensure there is no barrier between vineyard and winery efforts. Since their inception Margrain has quietly gained a reputation for producing a wide range of exceptional wines that exude both complexity and charm. The line-up has only become more eclectic over the years.

The Wairarapa offers a unique blend of topography, ancient geolgy and climate to produce world class Burgundian style Pinot Noir. This was the reason for us to set up our vineyard in Martinborough where New Zealand's Pinot Noir history began with the first vines being planted in the region in 1883. Apart from our two flagship Pinot Noirs ‘Marion’s Vineyard’ and ‘Block B’ we produce a savoury Estate Pinot Noir, an elegant and fresh Sauvignon Blanc, a beautiful silky European style Rosé, our intriguing bright and aromatic Tribianco cuvée and a luscious Late Harvest Dolce. SCHUBERT'S philosophy is to craft wines of uncompromising quality that would stand out alongside the finest in the world. 14 hectares of wines are closely planted in the traditional, European style and the unique climate produces low yields. As a result they have been quick to capture the attention of connoisseurs and critics alike for their alluring, internationally award winning wines of outstanding character, complexity, balance and grace.

Te Awanga Estate

Website Phone Email

Te Awanga Estate is a family owned wine business. Everything we do reflects the love we have for ‘our place’ – Hawke’s Bay, and our enduring ambition to make world class wines. And smile while doing it. In 2006 we began searching out great vineyard sites that would eventually supply grapes to make the great wines of our future. We have an enduring purpose. To grow, harvest and craft the finest wines ever made in New Zealand. The people working in our vineyards, winemaking and business are all motivated by the same ambition of making great wine, reflecting our place and ideas. We have chosen what we believe are some of Hawke’s Bay’s greatest vineyard sites from the coast at Te Awanga to our most inland site at Maraekakho. The Hawke’s Bay region has a varied landscape providing an environment to grow a number of different varieties and wine styles. One of Hawke’s Bays greatest strengths is its geographical and climatic diversity and that’s why we love making wine here. We grow Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc at the coast where the maritime climate ensures a bright acidity and long growing season. At our inland vineyard at Bridge Pa, we grow Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah as these are our hottest blocks and have enough heat to ripen these varieties fully. At our highest and most inland vineyard, closer to the mountains, we grow Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Cooler nights here provide our vines with the conditions they need to produce fragrant, complex and concentrated wines.

In the last 30 years the province of Marlborough has moved from virtual obscurity to become New Zealand’s largest and best-known wine region with a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest Sauvignon Blanc. This huge potential was something that was recognised back in 1979 by Jane Hunter and her late husband Ernie when they planted their first vineyard in the picturesque Wairau Valley. Since those early years Jane has been owner, viticulturist and managing director of what has become one of New Zealand’s most established wineries, Hunter’s Wines. Under her expertise, the original vineyard area has increased by 2.5 times its original size and the company’s annual output has grown to around 75,000 cases of wine, nearly 65% of which is exported. Hunter’s Wines is still breaking new ground with new varietals, new wine-making techniques and new branding, consistently keeping the team at Hunter’s seeking the best for its wines.

Website Phone Email

"tee-kigh-runga" - where the soil is rich and the food is plentiful, Te Kairanga is one of Martinborough's founding vineyards established over 20 years ago. In keeping with the pioneering spirit surrounding the vineyard, a number of Te Kairanga wines have hailed from Martinborough's history and that of its inhabitants dating back to 1879. Our own John Martin Reserve Pinot Noir, known and loved by many, is notably named after the founding father of Martinborough - John Martin himself. Likewise the Pinot Runholder is aptly named as a tribute to the runholders of the land back in time.

Planted in 2003, Grasshopper Rock is one of the world's southern most vineyards, dedicated exclusively to Pinot Noir. The vineyard is on Earnscleugh Road, across the Clutha River from Alexandra. The site enjoys high sunshine hours and very cool nighttime temperatures. With extremes of heat and cold comes the risk of spring and autumn frost, providing a demanding but rewarding environment for the production of premium pinot noir. Grasshopper Rock takes its name from an endangered grasshopper, Sigaus childi, found near the vineyard.

Established in 1993, Carrick has always been about place. The name derives from the gold mining town and mountain range to which Carrick looks. The symbol of the ‘Carrick Bend’ on all of our labels signifies the strong union between our land and our people. To express this beautiful place, we make wines using only hand-picked, organically-certified, estate-grown fruit, with 100% indigenous yeast and minimal winery additions. While dedicated primarily to Pinot Noir, we are equally enamoured with Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay.

Clos Ostler

World, New Zealand, North Otago, Waitaki Valley Waitaki Valley

9435
75 reviews
Website

The beautiful but challenging environment of the Waitaki makes it difficult for the vine growers but wonderful for the winemakers. The story of Clos Ostler began in earnest 38 million years ago when geological forces drove an ancient limestone seabed upwards forming the building blocks of the modern Waitaki Valley in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Today, the valley is home to one of New Zealand’s unique wine growing climates — one that sits close to the margins of vine growing. The poor soils force the vines to grow deep. The powerful winds and cool climate allow the grapes to ripen slowly, retaining acidity despite the warm daytime sun. This stressing of the vines means they are low in vigour, producing grapes low in yield, but high in flavour, complexity and concentration. The Clos offers a range of altitude, soil types and microclimates. Coupled with varying pinot clones producing some of the most complex and nuanced wines known to New Zealand of a distinctive style that are a true reflection of this unique site.

Nanny Goat Vineyard is named after the wild goats that roam the mountainous terrain of the Central Otago. The name came about somewhat serendipitously in late 2004 during a trek to a restaurant, nestled high above the picturesque town of Queenstown, for some breath taking scenery, good food and of course some great Central Otago Pinot Noir.

Poderi Crisci vineyard encompasses 7.7 hectares on a north facing slope set amongst a sheltered amphitheatre and a narrow rocky strip believed to be 30 million set years older than the rest of the Island. Located at the end of a country lane, Poderi Crisci is a family-owned vineyard and restaurant with Italian flair and a passion for traditional winemaking. For four generations the Crisci family have been immersed in the art of food and wine. The first merlot vines were planted in 2000. The success of the first vines led to the planting of other grape varieties and vegetable gardens with Poderi Crisci being founded in 2008 and the restaurant opening in 2010. Antonio, a visionary, has transformed the Waiheke Island vineyard into a place people will visit to wine, dine and have ‘layers of experience.’ Just arriving at Poderi Crisci you may well think that you have been transported to Tuscany.

Denis has a lifelong love of the land. He grew up in the Rangitikei where he farmed for many years before entering Parliament in 1984. He represented Rangitikei for 15 years and during his time in the National Government he was for 6 years as an Associate Minister of Agriculture with responsibility for horticulture, 5 years Minister of Conservation and for 3 years Minister of Lands. These responsibilities enabled him to gain a real insight into and understanding of the often sensitive issues of conservation and land use. In 2000 he was the Founding Chairman of the NZ National Parks & Conservation Foundation, a charitable organisation dedicated to raising funds from individuals, businesses, and the community to support conservation projects throughout New Zealand. Over $2m has been donated to a wide range of projects since the Foundation was established. Denis loves the wide-open spaces, the lakes, mountains and bush of the South Island, and in 1995 he purchased the land in the Gibbston Valley, which was to become the Hawkshead Vineyard. The first Pinot Noir vines were planted in 2001, and a second block was planted in 2003. In 2005 he and his partner Ulrike Kurenbach established the Hawkshead Vineyard Partnership. The focus is on careful land use and soil management, with minimum interference with nature. Ulrike appreciated wine from an early age. She grew up in the Rhineland, one of Germany's wine regions. Ulrike studied Food Technology and has worked in the hospitality industry. She has also studied Art and Design. Ulrike firmly believes food, wine and art complement each other. They all require creativity to flourish. On her arrival in New Zealand Ulrike became actively involved in promoting New Zealand food and wine at culinary fairs in Europe. During that time she also appreciated being in the judging panel of the Taste New Zealand Awards. Denis and Ulrike are fully immersed in all aspects of the vineyard and oversee the viticultural operations.

Website Phone Email

Free-draining soils, hot summers and long, dry autumns make Martinborough the perfect region for growing traditional cool-climate wines. Founded in 1980, Martinborough Vineyard was a trailblazer in the region and the first to plant the variety for which the region is best known, Pinot Noir. We now lay claim to the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the district. These plantings were the visionary response by a small group of enthusiastic investors led by Derek Milne, to a 1978 DSIR survey that revealed that the closest New Zealand climatic analog to Burgundy (the French home of Pinot Noir) was to be found in the small rain shadow centred on the township of Martinborough. Since our first vintage was released by pharmacist-turned-winemaker and original investor Russell Schultz in 1984, we have consistently produced world-class wines from our home block, Martinborough Terraces blocks and, more recently, our Burnt Spur vineyards.

Vineyards are primarily situated on sites with moderate to low fertility with stony, sandy loam top soil overlaying deep layers of free-draining shingle. These shallow, fast draining, low fertility soils reduce vine vigour and help produce a lush, aromatic ripe wine. Where a more herbaceous style is desired, sites with greater retentive soils and moderate fertility are chosen.

Situated on the Orchard Vineyard we converted a fruit packing house to our winery in time for the 2009 vintage. You will find no receival bin here - our grapes are hand harvested and hand sorted across a table. Mixing the modern with the traditional, we have small stainless steel tanks among traditional Burgundian puncheons, French cuves and French oak barriques for ageing. ‘A modern take on tradition’ sums up our winemaking philosophy, making authentic wine is very important to us, as well as making the best wines we can. We try and pick grapes on ‘fruit’ days, in accordance with the biodynamic calendar, and thereafter we choose fruit days to work with these wines. We find this works with the rhythm of nature and makes better wine. We allow natural yeasts the ability to do their thing wherever possible and we use sulfur sparingly and bottle with minimal fining and filtration. Embodying the old world philosophy of oak supporting fruit in wine we use a range of traditional oak vessels. For example, we use puncheons for our white wines and for some of our Central Otago Pinot Noir to express the floral characters of the fruit. Our wines are released when they are ready, or as the French say éleve, which means we allow the wines to mature.

The name Catalina Sounds evolved from the majestic Catalina flying boats that played a vital role across the South pacific during and after World War II. New Zealand’s famous and largest warbird, the Catalina is a rare sight, in fact there are only a handful of these beautiful, iconic planes left in the world today, and we are lucky enough to be associated with one based right here in New Zealand. Through our sponsorship of this rare, passenger carrying, amphibious flying boat we are in some small way helping to ensure the Catalina continues to grace the skies around the stunning Marlborough Sounds and high over the vineyards in the Waihopai Valley where we have made our home. We draw inspiration for our wines from these graceful, unique flying boats and the respect in which they are held, together with the pristine and awe inspiring environment of the Marlborough Sounds – right on our doorstep. With attention to detail, we strive for our wines to step outside the norm and show individuality and personality, garnering respect wherever they are poured, while harnessing the purity and vibrancy that Marlborough’s climate and landscape are naturally blessed with.

Johanneshof Cellars was established in 1991 and is jointly owned and operated by Edel Everling a fifth generation winemaker from Ruedesheim, Rheingau, Germany and Warwick Foley from Marlborough. Both winemakers trained in the world-famous wine area of Rheingau in Germany. The winery has a formidable reputation for its Aromatic varieties namely Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris. Edel and Warwick also produce Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Noble Late Harvest Riesling. The quality of wines produced has reflected in the many awards Johanneshof has received including Trophy for Best International Aromatic White wine – Decanter World Wine Awards 2005. Johanneshof’s adoration for Europe’s century old wine culture led Edel and Warwick to establish New Zealand’s first underground rock cellar tunnelled into solid sandstone, 50 meters long and 20 meters deep underground. In this traditional cellar Johanneshof’s flagship wine, the Methode Traditionnelle ‘EMMI’ is fermented in its bottles and aged on its yeast lees for more than five years. Johanneshof is one of a few New Zealand wineries which produce Grappa & Grape Brandy. Called “EDELBRAND”, the Grape Brandy is made from 100% Marlborough grapes, distilled twice like a Cognac and matured for 25 years in small Limousine oak casks.
