Vineyards
Marlborough
Hells Gate
Situated on the sunny southern side of Marlborough's Wairau Valley, the 60 hectare Hells Gate Vineyard is planted in Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir.
The vineyard's name is derived from a dramatically eerie gorge, which is located in the headwaters of the Wairau River.
The vineyard itself is situated on the banks of the Omaka River on a stony and sunny river terrace.
The cool night time temperatures received in this river valley ensure that the characteristic Marlborough fruit flavours are retained as the grapes ripen in the sunny Marlborough climate.
This strategically important vineyard provides us with a long term premium grape supply from Marlborough.
Hammond Estate
A 22 hectares, neighbouring Hell's Gate, is planted in Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
