Description

Founded by Tim and Judy Finn (now retired) in 1978 who were pioneers of the Nelson wine industry and Tim Finn was a founding member of Sustainable Winegrowing NZ. Their daughter Rosie Finn carries on the family tradition in the role of Sales & Marketing/Director together with winemaker/GM Todd Stevens and viticulturalist Stef
Brockley. The focus is on sustainability with the winery run on solar power aided by the fact that Nelson has some of the longest sunshine hours in New Zealand. All estate
owned blocks are organically certified and the old vines are dry farmed.

On arrival at the winery, the grapes are chilled, sorted and 100% destemmed. Wild yeast fermentation in open top fermenters, at maximum 32C with twice daily hand
plunging. 10 months in French oak barriques (20% new), 100% natural malolactic in the Spring, then racked and blended.
