There’s something special about winter in the vineyard. The days are shorter, the air is crisper, and the light takes on a softer, golden glow that seems to linger a little longer. While the vines enter their dormant season, pruning begins - a careful and considered task that lays the foundation for the season ahead.

We had an incredible time in Christchurch over the weekend at Urban Wine Walk.

The wine was flowing, the streets were buzzing and the venue we teamed up with, Imōto Lounge Bar, was bustling with people enjoying themselves. We even squeezed in a delicious meal at the recently opened Pasta Pasta, where you can find our Heritage Sauvignon Blanc on the wine list.

Thanks for having us Imōto Lounge Bar, and if anyone in Christchurch is after our full range of wines, pay a visit to the wonderful team at Vino Fino.

Renowned international wine critic James Suckling has awarded our 2023 Poplars Chardonnay an astounding 92 points. He described the wine as "rich yet fresh and characterful," highlighting its "impressive concentration of flavours and juicy flow."

Try it for yourself. Available to purchase by the bottle or case from our website or from a fine wine stockist near you.

How good! Steve is all smiles today as the Urban Wine Walk in Christchurch on Saturday the 9th of May has SOLD OUT!

You'll find us pouring our wine at Imoto Lounge Bar, nestled in the heart of The Welder, and we can't wait to meet everyone on their self-guided tour of some of Christchurch's finest venues. We'll see the lucky ones who managed to secure a ticket there, and if you missed out, jump online and add your name to the waitlist.

In case you missed it, Steve has made the front cover of the latest issue of New Zealand Winegrower magazine. Alongside the cover moment, Settlement is also highlighted in a beautifully written piece by Emma Jenkins MW exploring the rise of single vineyard sites (page 18).

As Emma notes, “some unique vineyards are quietly moving out of the background and onto the front label”— and we’re delighted that Settlement is part of that story.
