Our Story

  • Fergus Winters

    My passion as a winemaker is to listen to what the fruit tells me. I see each clone of Pinot Noir as a cover song, each one has its own interpretation. For me clone 5 is an all rounder selection. Contributing deep colour, with earthy and fruit driven tones including cherry and plum.
    We think you will find it delicious and speaks of North Canterbury and of us.

    Andrew Wilson

    What started as a four-month campervan trip became a lifelong journey. Drawn in by Marlborough’s vibrant wine scene, Andrew never left. Now rooted in the region, he continues to refine his craft, trading insights with seasoned winemakers and chasing the endless possibilities of flavour, knowledge, and connection.
