Stonecroft Wines

Stonecroft Wines Boutique winery with a small cellar door in the Gimblett Gravels Wine Growing District® Hawkes Bay,

Stonecroft is a family owned winery in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. It was one of the first wineries to be established in the Gimblett Gravels Wine Growing District®. At Stonecroft, we continue to make a small quantity of wine, using traditional methods. Stonecroft is well known for its Syrah, Zinfandel, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay wines. We also make a Hawke's Bay style Sauvignon Blanc and a Merlo

t/ Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Both the winery and original vineyards are fully certified organic through AsureQuality and have IFOAM accreditation.

Before the Gimblett Gravels became one of New Zealand’s most recognised wine growing regions, most people saw it as stony, infertile land with little value.

Dr Alan Limmer saw something different.

In Episode 2 of Stonecroft Stories, Alan shares how months spent studying soil maps, driving back roads, and knocking on doors led him to the site that would become Stonecroft.

Dr Alan Limmer - the man who planted New Zealand’s oldest Syrah vines.

What started as a single row of cuttings planted in the Gimblett Gravels in 1984 went on to shape much of New Zealand Syrah as we know it today.

In Episode 1 of Stories from Stonecroft, Alan shares how a chance discovery at the Te Kauwhata research station led to the first commercial Syrah released in New Zealand in recent times.

We're picking our Gewurztraminer tomorrow. This evening we took off one lot of nets - this year we double netted the Gewurz as the birds were so keen on it! So over-row nets came off today and side row nets will only be removed right before picking. Grapes are looking great

A surprise find under the lavender being trimmed at the cellar door today, a nice shady spot.
