If you love wine, the one winery you will want to visit before you fall off your perch, is De La Terre, Hawke’s Bay’s only earth-brick winery & cellar door.
On our recent trip to Napier, it was definitely the “wouldn’t miss it” venue.
Tony Prichard was the original Chief Wine-maker at Church Road & while there, worked with consultants from Domaine Cordier in Bordeaux. He is Mr Everything: he grows grapes, picks, processes, bottles & labels & imparts his immense knowledge & passion enthusiastically when you visit. His wife, Kaye, produces delectable food for your enjoyment!
“Our hand-crafted approach goes right through the winemaking process – from hand-picking all the fruit, through gentle handling at the winery using traditional winemaking techniques. Nothing is rushed and with the emphasis on minimal handling, every effort is made to retain the integrity and concentration of the fruit and our unique terroir. The wines are a fusion of high-tech winemaking knowledge with traditional hands-on winemaking methods in the cellar.”
The wines range from those you will have tasted before to the more unusual such as Tannat, Barbera & Noble Viog nier. We are re-doing our Hawkes’ Bay tour. 15-18 October & still have a few seats, if you wish to treat your self

We had a delicious lunch at LINDEN, with a free matched wine with each course & a port to finish, as well as a tasty well-informed humorous wine presentation..

With the help of a high-tech digital sorting machine that photographs every berry, rejecting those with imperfections, Paritua can make good wines from vintages from which many would qual!
