Kotare Wines are single vineyard wines made from individually selected Estate grown fruit only.

Intimate knowledge over 10 years of varying soil types in the Wairau Valley has allowed us to choose the correct Trellis System, clones and rootstocks for each wine. From these vineyards all three Kotare Wines are produced: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.

Fruit of the highest quality is produced by following good canopy management practice and vigilance in the spray and nutrient programmes.

Each block is harvested separately and grapes from each one scored for flavour and taste.

Their distinctions are preserved by state-of-the-art winery equipment when the fruit is processed. Made by Fiona in a brand new facility using premium-quality machinery, tanks, wine barrels and only the best yeasts, wines bearing the Kotare label are eventually bottled for discerning international tastes.
