Waipara Pioneer
We are excited after many years of bottle aging to release and share with you all two exceptional wines. They are a true reflection and display the unique flavours and quality that best represent the Waipara Valley in the North Canterbury wine region at its highest standard.
Non-grafted vines were planted by Jill and Bruce Moore in 1982 in the limestone rich soils of the Waipara Valley, North Canterbury. Such vines, on original European root stock, are rare due to phylloxera infestation requiring American vines for grafting. This hand harvested vintage was aged in tight grain French oak for a year before bottling in March 2020.
Premium wine to celebrate two of Waipara Springs iconic family members and pioneers in the New Zealand Wine industry, Jill and Bruce Moore. These wines have been specially made with love and admiration by family members to the highest quality to celebrate Jill and Bruce’s retirement and their contribution to the family estate, which spans over four decades.
Elegantly styled Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are of limited production by design from this Heritage Vineyard.
