Sherwood Estate operate their own modern and fully equipped winery where all winemaking tasks are undertaken from crushing and pressing — through to bottling, under the careful guidance of the Senior Winemaker. Three ranges of wines are produced under the Sherwood umbrella. • The Clearwater Range • The Sherwood Estate Range • The Stratum Range

The Clearwater range represents the very best varietal single vineyard wines from our own vineyards in Waipara. This is very much a hand crafted range both in the vineyards and winery where meticulous care is taken to ensure that the wine produced is of the highest quality and reflects each vineyard’s unique characteristics or “terroir”. This range is unashamedly exclusive for those who appreciate the difference.

The Sherwood Estate range proudly carries the name of the winery and owners and so reflects Sherwood Estate’s commitment to the highest quality. The wines are varietally focussed from our own Marlborough and Waipara Vineyards as well as selected growers; this range is internationally acclaimed for its excellent quality/value ratio. The Stratum range is crafted by our winemaker to reflect intense varietal fruit flavours from classic varieties producing finished wines of consistently excellent quality and wide appeal.
