The shining jewel of this remote paradise is its exquisite range of wines that are not just vintages, but veritable works of passion, embodying the spirit of the landscape from which they emerge.
The Waihopai Valley is celebrated worldwide for its sauvignon blanc, a standout grape variety that has become the emblem of New Zealand's global wine recognition. These wines are characterised by a lively acidity, accompanied by flavours of ripe tropical fruits, tangy gooseberry, and fresh cut grass. It's easy to understand why, once tasted, the potent combination of these vibrant, zesty nuances is hard to forget.
Pinot noir is yet another grape variety that has found a home in Waihopai Valley. The region provides the ideal cool climate for this finicky grape, yielding delicious and elegant wines with structured tannins, revealing layers of black cherries, spiced plum, and truffle.
Produced in the unique terroir of the Waihopai Valley, all the wines exude distinctive regional characteristics. Influenced by the cold oceanic breezes and a stark contrast in diurnal temperatures, grapes mature slowly, allowing an exceptional balance of sugar and acidity to develop.

From viticulture through to the final product, every step towards creating Waihopai Valley wines is undertaken with meticulous attention to detail, honouring both tradition and innovation.
