About Whistling Buoy
A family-owned boutique vineyard nestled in the Crater of Lyttelton Harbour on Banks Peninsula, New Zealand, where two unique sites produce limited-quantity, terroir-driven wines with serious character. They're carrying on a legacy that goes back to 1895, when Romeo Bragato first recognized this cool climate region's special potential for growing grapes.
