When Greenock was first surveyed on the Awhitu Peninsula in the late 1800's the settlers would not have pictured the local soil and messo climate to be suited to viticulture 120 years later.

Six years ago we certainly had no idea we would be growing grapes and becoming the proud producers of classical Greenock Syrah and Peninsula Chardonnay wines.

Life is full of pleasant surprises and we invite you to order now and share the pleasures to be found in our boutique product.

Winemaker Shayne Cox is confident both wines will cellar very well for up to 6 years [if you have any left by then].

Regards,

Wendy and Dave Hendl
