Gladstone Vinyard

Founded in 1986, Gladstone Vineyard is the first in a series of boutique wineries established in Valarapa. It is located on the old riverbed of the Ruamahanga River in Gladstone District and it is also one of the most beautiful vineyards in New Zealand.

 

Christine and David Kernohan have been operating Gladstone Vineyard since 1996; Christine believes that the most important part of winemaking is the vineyard management. By using the soil and drainage characteristics of the river terrace, organic farming, and using New Zealand sustainable grapes Planting plans are the standard to keep the soil and vines healthy. High-quality grapes produce high-quality wines that can truly express the terroir of this region.
