After winning Double Gold, our 2025 Sugar Loaf Riesling has gone one better — taking out Trophy Riesling at the New Zealand International Wine Show!!!!!
Kate and Dave took the stage in Auckland last night to accept the award — a proud moment for the team — before celebrating with a well-earned glass (of Riesling, of course).

Spring has sprung! And that means the odd frost is on the way - Joe talks us through how we keep our vines snug and warm on those colder nights.
Looks like we need a bigger camera to fit the whole fan in!

Our 2022 Sugar Loaf Riesling, winner of Double Gold + Trophy at the New Zealand International Wine Show, is now showing just how gracefully it evolves. Those fresh floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle have deepened into hints of honey and mineral elegance, while the palate has become richer and more layered. 🌸🍯

But what we love most? That signature zesty lemon acidity still shining through — a burst of freshness that keeps every sip vibrant and alive.

And yes, there are still a few bottles left on our online shop 🥂

This past Saturday, we played host to some highly distinguished Wellingtonians at the Wellington Urban Wine Walk. 🍷
It was a fantastic turnout, with plenty of buzz around our Sugar Loaf favourites — the Riesling, Rosé, and Syrah were all crowd-pleasers, and our DQ Blanc de Blanc even made a surprise cameo to the delight of many.
Huge thanks to Otto Champagnaria & Beer Hall for having us — we loved being part of it and hope to see you all again soon!

Pouring a refreshing glass of our 2023 Pinot Gris after this great review from

"Bright, even, pale straw-yellow. The nose is gently full, with aromas of pear, quince, floral and
spice. Medium-bodied, dry to taste, aromas of autumn pear, quince entwined with honeysuckle
and five-spice. The fruit shows ripeness, and the spice layer adds interest. A lightly oily
mouthfeel carries a dry, textural finish. Match with pulled-pork bao buns and steamed chicken
over the next 3-4 years." 93 Points
