Awatere River

About

Ancient glaciers shaped this New Zealand valley into something special, leaving behind mineral-rich soil that gives Awatere River wines their distinctive flinty character. Pure water from Mount Tapuae-o-uenuku completes the picture, resulting in crisp wines that really taste like where they come from.
