At 258 hectares planted, this vineyard on the central Wairau Plains, about 15 minutes drive from Blenheim, is the largest Oyster Bay vineyard and is also one of the largest individual vineyards in New Zealand. It is a unique site with three distinct terraces, each with slightly different soils. It is planted sauvignon blanc 59%, chardonnay 33% and pinot noir 8%.

This is Oyster Bay's new vineyard in Marlborough's Awatere Valley, about 20 minutes over the hills from the Wairau Valley. It is a terraced vineyard, high up above the Awatere River with spectacular scenery all around. 167 hectares are planted, featuring an almost even split of the classic Marlborough varieties - sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot noir.

In 2003, the vineyard was established with the planting of 132 hectares of sauvignon blanc. This picturesque site is only 400m from the Wairau River and it's also very close to the Oyster Bay State Highway 63 vineyard - Oyster Bay's largest. A large proportion of the nearby river flows underground.

This prime, central Wairau Valley vineyard is planted with 171 hectares of vines - nearly half in sauvignon blanc and the balance in pinot noir and chardonnay. An interesting feature is the preservation and development of approximately 9 hectares of wetland around Fault Lake itself where there is a thriving population of ducks, swans, water fowl and frogs.

West of the Heretaunga plains is our exciting Crownthorpe vineyard. At 285 Ha our Crownthorpe vineyard is the single largest vineyard planted in Merlot in the Hawke's Bay region. This terraced vineyard is situated on the spectacular cliff facing on the Ngarouro River and bounded to the south by the Kikowhiro Steam. Crownthorpe is distinguished for its free draining alluvial loams overlaying stony sub-soils.
