Hunter’s Wines Expands with New Waihopai Valley Vineyard

Hunter's Wines is pleased to announce the purchase of a 24-hectare vineyard in the Waihopai Valley, Marlborough. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to producing quality Marlborough wines for domestic and international markets.

Located in the Waihopai Valley, the vineyard has Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc plantings. The Pinot Noir grapes from this site will be a key component of our MiruMiru sparkling wine. We anticipate the Waihopai Valley fruit will contribute distinctive characteristics to the final blend.

"This vineyard is a valuable addition to our estate-owned land," says James Macdonald, our winemaker. "The Waihopai Valley has a reputation for producing good fruit. The Pinot Noir grapes are promising, and we look forward to incorporating them into our MiruMiru™."

The property also includes a hectare of grazing land, which will be used to raise cattle and sheep.
