Class, Quality, Wisdom, Hospitality, Value. The visit to this winery was one of the highlights of our trip to the south island because it excelled in all of the above dimensions. I am extremely grateful for taking the time to visit another winery, after the disappointment of Cloudy Bay winery. The first striking thing was that they are offering a larger selection of wines for tasting and the tasting is for free! They are that confident of their wines and for good reason! The woman taking care of us had only began working in the wine industry for 6 months but seemed to have the knowledge decades - that just tells you how much effort they put in educating their staff and how much love their staff has for what they do. The knowledge she transferred to us should be named, wisdom! Most importantly, their wines were MINDBLOWING! I m not exaggerating. So much that we ended up buying two bottles of Pinor Gris, to take back to the USA! Another crazy thing? Their wine prices are so much lower than Cloudy Bay, while being so much better! No wonder they have been voted in the best 3 wineries in the world! I could not recommend this place enough. You will be treated as a first class guest without the commitment to pay anything, tasting some of the best wines of your life!
