About Us
Raised in Gisborne, Ashwood Estate is located on the east coast of New Zealand's north island and is the first city in the world to greet the sun each day. Gisborne is well known for their wineries and surfing.
At Ashwood Estate, we have embraced the romance of traditional wine making techniques. For instance, none of our vineyards are irrigated which allows us to reflect the characteristic of each season within the vintage. All of our Estate wines are fermented only in wood, no stainless steel! This provides a soft texture on the palate which is the hallmark characteristic of these wines.
Because of our terroir, the traditional techniques used, and the skill of our winemakers, all of the wines we produce are unique to Ashwood and to the Gisborne region.
