It's been a little while since you've heard from us...
Behind the scenes at Mountford Estate, a close-knit team has been working with focus and intent - nurturing vines, crafting wines and rekindling the spirit of this special Waipara estate.

And now we're proud to share something we've known all along.

Our Mountford Estate Pinot Noir 2021 has been named Champion Pinot Noir at the 2025 New World Wine Awards 🏅

This recognition celebrates the craftsmanship, patience,and heart that defines Mountford.

You can find our Champion Pinot on New world shelves across Aotearoa, and we'll be sharing more soon about our Gold-winning Mountford Estate Blanc Pet Nat NV - a bright, playful sign of what's to come.
Here's to focus, flavour, and a new chapter for Mountford Estate. 🍷✨️

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;"

Tending the fermenters; there's a lot of plunging to do! My favourite is the fruit from our Alsace block: Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Muscat co-fermenting. So beautiful - looks like autumn!
