The POUNAMU wines are grown at a Single Vineyard site in the unique Waihopai Valley, in Marlborough, New Zealand. Behind the vineyard are the mighty Southern Alps. This mountain range forms the backbone of the South Island. This mountainous terrain helps protect our valley from fierce Oceanic winds. Over time it's pushed down alluvial deposits - terraces of stony, free draining soils - which are well suited for grape growing. On a day-to-day basis these mountains feed our acquifers with exquistiely pure water.

During the ripening season (December - April), Marlborough experiences hot days, but at night the Ocean breeze cools the atmosphere dramatically. This extreme diurnal temperature change means our grapes produce intense flavours throughout the day, yet we're able to preserve and retain acidity from the cool conditions at night. It's this expression - this sense of place - that you can find in the POUNAMU wines.
