Kahurangi Estate, Nelson, New Zealand
Kahurangi Estate, owned by Greg and Amanda Day, means ‘treasured possession’ in Maori, and is a delightful estate which encompasses many of the 3D philosophies; history and tradition as well as an enthusiasm for the future with technology and craft combined, but always within a family-oriented framework – the wines are rather special too!
Kahurangi occupies just over 12 hectares and contains some of the oldest vines in New Zealand.
Nelson is perched in the northwest corner of the South Island. It offers stunning landscapes; lakes, rivers, mountains and national parks as well as idyllic beaches. Although not as well known internationally as its famous neighbour, Marlborough just to the east, Nelson’s cool climate and ideal soils make it one of the most exciting, up-and-coming regions in New Zealand.
Naturally, this introduction to New Zealand does not spell the end of our love affair with France. Far from it. Rather, we see it as an exciting addition to an already superbly diverse range of wines that we offer to Partners.
