No.1 Family Estate

No.1 Family Estate www.no1familyestate.co.nz

Pioneers of Méthode Traditionelle in New Zealand for 40 years, Adele and Daniel Le Brun launched No.1 Family Estate, their family-owned winery, in July 1997. Steeped in history and tradition, Daniel crafts his wines using the same process perfected over 12 generations, by his champagne-making family in France. The No.1 Family Estate winery and vineyard is set in Marlborough’s beautiful Wairau Valley and is committed exclusively to producing premium Méthode Traditionelle.

Why No.1?

The story starts in Ch*****ne, where Daniel grew up surrounded by generations of Le Brun winegrowers. In 1980, he and Adele made Marlborough home with baby Virginie.
Years of work and plenty of firsts followed. When they began a new family venture in 1997, the name No.1 Family Estate felt just right.

We have so many stories to share from those early days. Next week, we’ll tell you about the 50,000 vine cuttings they brought to Marlborough.

A few signs that spring has officially arrived at No.1.

New lambs, later sunsets and the first buds appearing on the vines.

A Father’s Day well spent.

Good food, great company and a glass of No.1 raised to the dads and father figures who deserve celebrating.

Naturally, we’re also raising a glass to Daniel this Father’s Day. Founder, winemaker, Dad and a very important part of what makes No.1 a family estate.

A special thank you to Sukesh Puthanveettil Mundayadan and the team at Harvest Restaurant for looking after us so beautifully.

From our family to yours, Happy Father’s Day. 🥂

Well it's official, the buds have burst on our Chardonnay vines, the earliest we've ever seen! It's an exciting sign the new growing season is underway. But frost remains a real risk through these final weeks of winter and into spring, so our team is watching closely, ready to protect these young, vulnerable buds through the nights ahead!
