Our Land

Home Vineyard

Located in the central pocket of the Wairau Valley, this certified organic and biodynamic 45 hectare vineyard is made up of alluvial, free-draining Waimakariri soils. The land is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Riesling. Olive groves, orchards, and vegetable gardens are an important part of the vineyard and add to the diversity of the Estate.

The Home Vineyard is also home to our Winery buildings and Cellar Door.

Raupo Creek Vineyard

The certified organic and biodynamic Raupo Creek vineyard is the largest of our three vineyards, and is located in the foothills of the Omaka Valley. The clay rich soils of the 51 hectare vineyard are ideal for growing Pinot Noir. The land is also planted with Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Viognier. An additional 25 hectares are planted with olive groves, vegetable patches, farmland and pasture.

Tatou Vineyard

The Tatou vineyard is surrounded with olive trees and planted in Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The 15 hectare property is certified organic and biodynamic and located slightly west of the Home vineyard in the Wairau Valley. The fruit from Tatou's alluvial shingle soils produces very concentrated aromatic wines with structured tannins.
