About Lake Road Wines

This Gisborne producer has been crafting wines since 1975 from vines that catch the sun before anywhere else on Earth, and three generations of the Blampied family have turned that early light into distinctive award-winning Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs, and Pinots. They're all about letting premium grapes and bold innovation shine through, so you're getting wines that taste like the sunny, characterful land they come from.
