In the span of 10 years, Paddy Borthwick transformed his family's livestock ranch in Wairarapa into a prestigious winery.

He was certain that a rocky river terrace, rich in alluvial soil and boasting a special micro-climate, was the ideal setting for cultivating exceptional wine grapes.

With extensive education and experience in the field, Paddy Borthwick returned to his hometown in 1996, implementing sustainable farming practices and taking a hands-off approach to both the vineyard and winery.

The result? Vibrant, delicious, and exceptionally refined wines.
