An aromatic and textural blend of Riesling and Sauvignon blanc as the core base to this wine. Tasting notes to come, fresh off the bottling line but think vibrant, refreshing citrus, gooseberry, salty and vital. Refreshing, salivating and damn delicious. Tasting notes to come..

The Producer

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

I was a kid growing up on a sheep and beef farm overlooking the coast on the Coromandel Peninsula. My whanau has always had a deep connection with the specific nature of the land in this region and a dependency on it and this has shaped the way I look at almost everything in my life. Through farming, I have developed an awareness of the relationship between the food we eat and the land it is derived from.

While my father raised homegrown beef, lamb, and pork and tended carefully to flourishing vegetable gardens, my grandfather would guide me in the practices of net fishing for flounder and trawling for Kahawai. Reflecting on my time as a young person, I can see how truly fortunate I have been.

ALONG CAME A HUNTER

Hunting came later in life when I met my partner ‘Mick the Hunter’. He has been my patient and calm mentor over the past 10 years as I learn how to provide my whanau with the precious and valuable resource of wild, lean, and nutritious meat. We target species that have been introduced to the wild and cause havoc and destruction in our native environments. For me, hunting is a way to gather food, a way to connect with nature and slow down, rest, and restore, and a way to contribute to maintaining harmony and balance to the native bush by keeping introduced populations in check so that flora and fauna have time to regenerate.

LAND, FOOD & WINE CONNECTION

My wish is to honor indigenous cultural food growing practices that are adapted to specific, local environments and work with as opposed to against natural processes of the land and the environment surrounding us. We must have respect for living creatures and an understanding of the intricacies of life cycles, seasons, and our place amongst them. We are as much a part of the land as the land is part of us. We cultivate the land while the land cultivates us and it is our duty to take care of it.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koe”- with thanks and gratitude to you,
