OUR WINE MAKING

Philosophy

Best wine comes from hand picked grapes harvested when the brixs (sugar) is just right from healthy unirrigated vines producing small concentrations of concentrated juice.

Following fermentation the finest French oak is used for "elevage" maturing the wine. No fining or filtration is used and cold stabilisation of white wines occurs naturally outside over winter.

We bottle, cork and label ourselves on site using the minimum of sulphite for good wine hygiene.

Mahana Hills Vineyard

is nestled in the
Upper Moutere Hills above the small port of Mapua.
The winey sits alongside the vines so you can literally walk along the row that produced the wine you are drinking.

We believe our inground winery to be the smallest in Nelson. The whole process from picking to labelling and corking is done by the family and friends by hand. Join us on the journey and become a member of the
