Back in 1986, Ernie signed an agreement with Clan Hunter in Scotland, giving Hunter’s permission to use the Hunter Clan crest on our branding.

Since then, Hunter’s has proudly carried the dog at the centre of the insignia, alongside the Latin words Cursum Perficio - “the course is complete.”

This July, Clan Hunter gathered at their ancestral home, Hunterston Castle, for a very special occasion: the inauguration of the Depute Macer Venatorus and the Clan Chieftain. It marked the first time in 900 years that Clan Hunter would have both a Clan Chief and Clan Chieftain, and it is thought to be the first clan to have both a female Chief and female Chieftain at the same time.

The ceremonies culminated in a dinner at the Castle, where we were incredibly honoured to provide the wines for the evening: Hunter’s MiruMiru™ Non Vintage, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

It’s rather special to think that a connection that began back in 1986 with Ernie and Clan Hunter continues today, with Hunter’s wines being enjoyed at Hunterston Castle in Scotland - a lovely link between our two families, on opposite sides of the world.

Meet Pippa, our Cellar Master, sealing up a tank to keep the wine safely tucked away while it ages.

An important part of the process, happening quietly behind the scenes in the winery.

Proud to see our Estate Chardonnary 2025 has placed third with 5 stars in the Cuisine Magazine New Zealand Chardonnay tasting.

“The palate is lean and focussed yet bright, with an incredible depth of flavour that carries the length of the wine and finishes juicy.”

A big thank you to the judging panel: Simon Nunns Tamra Kelly Michael Turner

Dogs have been part of winery life since the very beginning. Some may remember Commodore or Paddy, owned by Jane and Ernie. These days, Billy and Lola bring plenty of personality, companionship and the occasional hunt for a snack to the vineyard. To celebrate International Dog Day this year, we caught up with our friends at Ashley & Co. to share more about our love of dogs on their journal. Link in bio.
