Steve has previously made wine at other renowned vineyard's including Greenhough and the cult New Zealand winery Dry River. During that time Steve has been globe trotting around the world to learn as much as possible from the worlds best in other top international wine growing regions. He has worked vintages at Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, Heinz Schmitt in Mosel, Saintsbury in Carneros and Schaetzel in Alsace. So its not hard to work out his favourite wines are riesling and pinot noir!“I believe that we make world-class wine in Nelson. The region has the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand and cool nights which produces aromatic wines with an extra special character. I like to use a mixture of traditional techniques learnt working in old-world countries like France and Germany and new world technology like refrigeration and stainless steel tanks. It is this blend of creativity/art and science that I love about winemaking."
