Viticulture
I believe wine first and foremost is one of life's great pleasures, by the wonder of natural design however it's also a medicine and part of a happy healthy life.
With this in mind I embarked many years ago on understanding the grape vine in its natural state, and how as a grower I can allow the vine to flourish with only the assistance of natural encouraging inputs.
My search led me to Biodynamic growing and James Millton in Gisborne on his advice I took the time to train in the science & art over a year in Hawkes Bay. This way of farming while unbelievable to many, does work, it brings me closer to the land than ever before and I believe it brings a quality unsurpassed by other means of agriculture when conducted correctly and intelligently.
I look forward to seeing our land only improve over my life, and handing off something much richer to my own son when the time comes.
