Mission On The Mount»
The mean gravelly soils and invigorating climes of Mount Barker of the Australian southwest, were identified during the 1960s by the world's leading viticulturalists, as a place uncannily similar to the great terroirs and clime of Bordeaux. The pioneering vines of Forest Hill were the first ever planted here, sired from rootstock of ancient Houghton clones, inaugurally vintaged by the illustrious Jack Mann in 1972. The Cabernet and Riesling of Forest Hill were promptly distinguished by multiple trophy victories and praised by gentleman James Halliday as the most remarkable wines to come out of the Australian west. Forest Hill have remained a source of the most profoundly structured, intensely.. Softly spoken wonders from the west»
Man On A Mission»
Graeme Melton and a mate were travelling across South Australia in 1973, their EH Holden was in dire need of maintenance and Graeme took up casual work at a passing winery. The site supervisor was Peter Lehmann and young Graeme had his epiphany on the road to Barossa Valley. Lehmann suggested that Graeme change his name to Charlie and take the pilgrimmage to Vallee Rhone. Charlie became prepossessed with the culture of old vines Grenache, Shiraz and Mourverdre. He returned to the Barossa, at a time when old vineyard fruit was made into flagon Port and growers were destroying their historic sites in return for government grants.

Leongatha, Lucinda & Lees»
Just outside the Gippsland town of Leongatha, a few minutes down the road from the hallowed grounds at Bass Phillip estate, ten precious acres of exceptional terroir were planted in 1990, to artisanal clones of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. The propitious easterly aspects make the most of morning sun, an auspicious bequeath of fertile Ferrosols oblige the rootstock and infuse the fruit, while reducing the vigor and rationing the harvest.

Waipara Hills
Waipara Hills has won international acclaim for consistently producing some of New Zealand’s best quality wines

At the 2005 Liquorland International Top 100 Wine Awards in Auckland Waipara Hills’ wines were awarded four trophies including Champion Winery of the Show. Trophies were awarded for Champion Pinot Noir, Champion Gewurztraminer, Champion Pinot Gris. Launched as a public wine company in 2001, Waipara Hills was awarded the accolade of fifteenth fastest growing company in New Zealand by Deloitte’s in 2004. Production From 6000 cases in 2001 to over 89,000 cases in 2006 Waipara Hills’ growth has been spectacular.

To facilitate the rising production a purpose-built 2000 tonne state-of-the-art winemaking facility was leased in Marlborough. Known as South Pacific Cellars the facility offers the company’s winemaking team a high tech platform from which to create the best quality award winning wines. Until recently the company owned no vineyards and relied exclusively on long-term relationships with some of New Zealand’s most established quality grape growers in Marlborough and Waipara.

In September 2005 Waipara Hills entered an exciting and significant merger with Marlborough based New Zealand Vineyard Estates Limited. NZ Vineyard Estates brings 325 hectares of premium, mature vineyards into Waipara Hills’ supply chain ensuring enhanced volume and continuity of supply to expanding world markets. The merger was completed on 3rd July 2006 and included the aquisition of a new prominantly placed winery and restaurant facility on State Highway 1 in Waipara. This brings the company's net asset to around $48M

Along with this growth has come a considerable list of international trophies, medals and accolades. For any wine producer to win eight trophies, thirty gold medals and thirty-two silver medals in such a short time is a notable achievement and one which Waipara Hills is proud of. A condensed ‘Honours Board’ for Waipara Hills’ wines is included. The vineyards previously owned by NZ Vineyard Estates were strategically planted in three of New Zealand’s key grape producing regions: Marlborough (Sauvignon Blanc), Waipara (predominately Riesling) and Central Otago (Pinot Noir)

Waipara Hills

Waipara Hills sources grapes from its own vineyards totalling 968 acres of producing vineyards including 220 acres in Marlborough, 588 acres in Waipara, and 160 acres in Central Otago. The focus of each vineyard is to exploit the terroir of each region by growing grapes best suited to that region. All vineyards are managed on site with small and highly motivated core teams of personnel, and each is of sufficient scale to provide maximum economies.

The Marlborough Delta vineyard comprises 220 acres of Sauvignon Blanc with the potential to produce around 740,000 litres of Sauvignon Blanc juice or the equivalent of 80,000 cases. The 150 acre Home Vineyard at Waipara is planted in Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot. The 278 acre vineyard at The Mound in Waipara is planted predominantly in Riesling with small blocks of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Gewurtraminer.
