Pioneering organic vineyard for sale

A pioneering organic vineyard in Waihopai Valley is on the market. Owners Sam and Mandy Weaver have closely followed biodynamic planting principles since they established the 22-hectare hillside vineyard in 2000 to supply grapes to their Churton Estate wine label. The vineyard is renowned for growing high quality Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir grapes on its contoured north-east facing slopes. The Weavers also planted smaller amounts of Petit Manseng and Viognier.
