“Our philosophy is wholly centered on making seriously good wine. We like wines to express their place – to speak of a somewhere-ness rather than of a same-ness, we want you to be able to taste this in our wines.”

We were devastated to wake to this news today
Jukesy was an all round bloody great human with such an infectious enthusiasm. I`ve had the pleasure of knowing him for 25+ years.
He was intelligent, generous, thoughtful and so much fun
Such a relentless cheerleader for both Aussie and Kiwi wines and made such a difference to our presence in the UK.
Sending big love and our deepest sympathies to @ameliajukes and their boys, his daughters and their families 💔😢

Vintage 2026 photo dump
Few days break over Easter and long overdue for a vintage report so here it is in pictorial form.
A fast and furious start in the first week with much of the home block coming in a fairly short window and then a bit of breathing space before we picked the old vine Riesling, Syrah and Awatere Sauvignon Blanc all in the latter part of March.
Quality looks amazing we are just thrilled with the early promise across the board. Lots of exciting things to share in coming months!

Really looking forward to eggsperimenting with this 😉
