Two dots on a map New Zealand and Spain
Diametrically opposite yet utterly connected
Grava making wine here (and there)

We taste with our eyes, our nose, our mouth but sound and touch are elements that enhance our sensory experience A wine tastes different in a glass than it does in a ceramic cup. It is the sensation of touch that changes your experience Malolactic fermentation in a barrel sounds like snap, crackle, pop. It indicates a natural shift in the wine A healthy, diverse ecosystem sounds like the hum of bees, birdsong and wind through different leaves. An indication organic life is allowed to live there The undeniable sound of a constant crunch under foot reveals a terroir of stony gravel. A flavour to be found expressed in a wine This is our Grava

Walk
somewhere
fresh

Finish by
the fire

Cook
something comforting

Our intention is to live an easy life — work hard and reward ourselves for that work with simple things that give pleasure We respect the natural world around us and focus on how we can do things in a more straightforward, thoughtful way We make wine both here in Aotearoa and in Spain and have done for over twenty years. We feel fortunate to enjoy the cultural exchange that comes with this work All we want from our wine is that it is a conduit for easy, enjoyable moments. Join us for a glass of the best wine we can make from what the land, both here and there, can offer us
