Great things come from small beginnings. In 1978, Neal and Judy Ibbotson were inspired to plant their own small plot of land in in the breath-taking vineyards of Marlborough.

Their experience and expertise, combined with an abundance of passion, has led to the creation of some of New Zealand’s best vineyard sites. Following an ecological philosophy, the vines are sustainably cultivated and the estate holds the Sustainable Wines of New Zealand certification. As pioneers of Marlborough viticulture, they are now joined at the family winery by their three children and are producing world-class wines.
