A passion for Pinot Noir...
... as great Pinot Noir lovers and winegrowers, we have one of the most famous winery estates in Germany well known by the circle of experts.
When travelling the world, looking at the Pinot Noir we encountered New Zealand for the first time. The landscape felt quite familiar, but what even fascinated us more was the Pinot Noir. The "Cool Climate" conditions are perfekt and there's a booming spirit.
After searching some time, we finally found some land, along the Ruamahanga River in the Wairarapa.
Together with our neighbour Beaven, we have planted 8 hectares of Pinot Noir, three hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and one hectare of ten different varietis ranging from Chardonnay to Syrah.
Bearing in mind that it takes years to establish a crop, we were able to buy some grapes and vinify our first "New Zealand" Pinot Noir in 2001

I hope we can share the beauty of the wines and the country with you.

Karl Heinz and Patrick Johner

PS: We have set up a weblog showing our work in these two worlds.
