Meet Vesper, the new addition to our expression sessions range.

There’s something special about this image from Philip Thurston the dark and moody vibe, with the last rays disappearing over the ocean seemed like the perfect fit for Vesper.

This w**e is a little different from what we’ve done before, Vesper is a co-ferment of Chardonnay and Riesling, bringing together two varieties to create something fresh, textured and full of character.

We’re pretty excited about getting this beauty out there!

Soon to be released.

A view we never get tired of.

Looking down over the vines from the hilltop, you can really see what makes this place different — the vineyard perched on the slopes of Taylor Pass, with the Wairau Valley stretching out beyond.

Perspective changes everything.

And sometimes, seeing the vineyard from a different angle is the best way to appreciate just how special this site is.

We’re stoked to see our Deep Glow recognised by John Saker with such a thoughtful appraisal, and making ‘The List’. It’s incredibly rewarding to be able to showcase the character of the vineyard through the glass.

This w**e is all about purity, poise and a sense of place - crafted to let the vineyard speak for itself. Seeing it resonate with those who know Pinot Noir best makes the season in the vineyard worthwhile.

Thank you for following along on the journey. If you’ve already opened a bottle of the 2024, we’d love to hear what you think.

What a fantastic day at the Car Boot W**e Sale at Ashridge W**ery on Sunday!

It was a privilege to be part of such a great event alongside so many like-minded small w**e producers. We made new friends, shared stories, poured plenty of w**e, and spread the love for what we do.

A huge thank you to **es for hosting and creating such an incredible community vibe. Events like these remind us that w**e is about so much more than what’s in the bottle—it’s about the people, the connections, and supporting each other along the way.

Looking forward to the next one!

The end of vintage get together has evolved over the years along with our w**e brand, but the outcome remains unchanged - bringing together some amazing people. This was the sixth year of hosting and somehow it gets better and better.

This is our way of thanking the cREW for their support, love and energy over the past year, you guys rock!! Those that helped picking, bottling, pruning, quad driving, putting nets on, spreading mulch, motivating us and being a sounding board for some crazy ideas.

With harvest done and dusted we wait for the vines to go dormant before beginning our winter pruning mission and another cycle begins.

V26 is done and dusted! This weekend we picked our tiny block of Merlot which is dry farmed and on its own roots (not grafted).

With all the fruit safely tucked away in the w**ery, we are able to reflect on the vintage that was. All of the love and attention that was put into our blocks paid off and to sum the harvest up in a few words; fast, hectic, big potential.

We can’t say it enough, a huge thanks to all of those who put their hands up to help this season, you know who you are. We look forward to celebrating with you all in a few weeks!

There will be a couple of new w**es coming from V26, one being the Merlot, the other slightly less classic. We will keep you posted.
