Cypress Wines
About
Creating unique, premium wines from the extreme slopes and limestone and clay influenced soils of the Cypress hillsides has provided this challenge. The harsh, sun-baked environment of the terraced property ensures our vines struggle, and results in low yields of intensely flavoured grapes. Together with my wife Melanie, we are proud to introduce the inaugural release of Cypress wines. These wines are produced from hillside grapes which are blended with fruit from the stony soils deposited around the base of our hill, producing full bodied wines best enjoyed in their youth.

Located in the heart of Havelock North, Hawke's Bay.

History
Being a winegrower for some 20 years on the Heretaunga Plains, particularly in the Gimblett Gravels area of Hawkes Bay, I was searching for more, something a little different, a fresh challenge.
