The Vineyard and winery is at Carterton, just outside of Martinborough in New Zealand and the naming of the 12,000 Miles wines, reflect Christine's links with her native Scotland. We also have new wines from Kevin Judd's new label Greywacke, Kevin was chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 years and the person responsible for the groundbreaking early wines they produced.
