Every year, when the Top Wineries New Zealand certificate arrives in our mailbox, we feel that same swell of pride to be handcrafting small-batch artisan wines alongside so many outstanding producers across Aotearoa.

It always takes us back to harvest and vintage: those long hours before sunrise and into midnight, the sweat and the joy, and the odyssey of it all. It's the price we pay, year after year, for a true labour of love, like so many of the things worth doing in life.

Now as winter settles over the vineyard and the land takes a deep breath and restores its energy, we're taking a moment to reflect on another memorable vintage and raise a glass to everyone who made it possible!

Thank you to The Real Review. Thank you to our team. Thank you to every single person who drinks our wines, visits our cellar door and restaurant, or shares our wines with family and friends. Cheers! 🍷

Our Free-range pork is sourced from Woody’s in Levin, are brined overnight, then marinated in sake lees.

Slow-roasted for three hours, then finished over charcoal for depth and texture.

On the plate, it’s paired with smoked & roasted apple purée, fresh apple, and char-grilled dandelion.

A balance of sweet, bitter, and smoky, letting the pork shine.

At Elephant Hill, our elderflower is preserved each season - turning fleeting blooms into elderflower vinegar (with vintages dating back to 2019) and syrups.

These delicate, floral elements quietly lift ice creams, desserts, and other sweet creations throughout the year, adding subtle acidity and complexity.

Elderflower is our way of capturing a little bit of summer, all year round.

We’re open Thursday-Sunday, 11am-5pm.

Warm days, ancient soils and inland calm define Earth. From Bridge Pa, our warmest vineyard site, these wines show generosity and depth - ripe, fleshy fruit balanced by savoury undertones and a soft, plush structure.

Grounded and comforting yet refined, Earth wines speak to abundance, texture and balance.
