About us
Kahurangi Estate is a family owned boutique vineyard dedicated to producing hand-made premium quality wines in a truly sustainable manner. Our focus is on aromatic grape varieties that respond to the Nelson region's cool climate conditions.
The vineyard was planted in 1973 and has the oldest commercial Riesling vines in the South Island. We purchased the existing vineyard in 1998, developing the Kahurangi brand and becoming one of the fastest growing wineries in New Zealand.
Climate
Nelson benefits from a sunny maritime climate and as a region claims the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand. Our climate allows us to specialise in aromatic grape varietes that respond to "cool climate" conditions. Our grape varieties consist of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gerwurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Montepulciano.

We are proud to stand together with our Kahurangi Team and present wines to you that reflect the true flavours and beauty of the Nelson region.
New Zealand Sustainable Winegrowing
We are also proud that Kahurangi Estate is a fully credited Sustainable Winery and Vineyard. This gives assurance to all our customers that we are dedicated to the reputation of the New Zealand Wine Industry to produce premium quality wines with true environmental integrity.
