Ohinemuri Estate Wines
We came to Karangahake in 1988 on a Sunday drive. After we saw the Latvian style buildings ( built by a set designer from Covent Garden), we fell in love with the place and bought it. We intended to grow our own grapes but the high rainfall was the inhibiting factor.

We source all our grapes from contract growers in Gisborne and Hawkes Bay. We have a long term relationship with our growers, going back several years. In conjunction with our growers we try to achieve the highest possible quality for each variety.

Our vinification is a combination of old techniques and new technologies. We try to avoid the use of chemicals where ever possible and try to produce a natural wine. It is our aim to produce wines with finesse, complexity and varietal expression.
At present we produce Chardonnay, Gewuerztraminer, Riesling and Merlot. Ocassionally we have a one off wine depending on the vintage and variety.

During the summer months we have special theme based dinner parties with live entertainment.

On fine Sunday afternoons we have a classical guitarist performing in our courtyard.
