About Jurassic Ridge

The vineyard and winery are certified by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, ensuring that all grapes and wines are produced according to a nationally recognized, annually audited standard of sustainability. The focus is on creating premium, hand-crafted, single-vineyard wines that emphasize the sensory characteristics of the unique island terroir. Through intensive canopy management, low cropping, and careful grape selection, the winery aims to produce exceptional wines.

The grapes are selectively hand-picked at optimal ripeness in the cool of the morning and sorted into small 10kg bins. After being weighed at the winery, the red grapes are destemmed within minutes and either lightly crushed or left uncrushed. Fermentation takes place in small, temperature-controlled, open-top fermenters, with gentle hand-plunging to extract the best flavors.

The wine is matured in French and/or American oak and clarified through barrel rackings over 12-24 months, avoiding the use of fining agents. After bottling, the reds are cellar-aged for an additional 3-5 years before release. The Pinot Grigio, Syrah Rosé, and Sauvignon Blanc are whole-bunch pressed and fermented in long, cool ferments with wild or cultured yeasts before aging on the lees for 6-12 months, with regular stirring.

Jurassic Ridge wines are suitable for all wine lovers, including vegetarians and vegans, as no animal products such as beef skin, pork gelatine, fish protein, egg white, or dairy are used. These wines can be described as "natural" or "authentic" (as defined by James Goode), crafted to reflect their unique sense of place. All wines are single-vineyard, grown and produced on the estate, and cellar-aged for 3-5 years before release.
