Craggy Range Vineyards Ltd
Established in 1998, Craggy Range is a family-owned winery situated in the shadow of the spectacular Te Mata Peak in the premium wine-growing area of Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. With an unrelenting focus on quality, Craggy Range produces a collection of iconic wines from their exceptional estates in Hawke's Bay, Martinborough, and Marlborough. When Craggy Range owners Terry and Mary Peabody first set out to start a winery with world class aspirations, their search quickly brought them to New Zealand. Looking down from Te Mata Peak onto the land where Craggy Range now stands, they were clear that they wanted to create a winery and an experience which truly evoked the unique landscapes and heritage of the region. To ensure a firm commitment, Terry Peabody honoured the original promise of leaving a legacy for the family still to come and established a year trust, meaning the winery can never be sold. What has followed in the last 20 or so years has been the development of an iconic New Zealand winery which has never lost sight of its sense of place, or its family ties.

Crown Range Cellar
We are a kind of non-traditional wine producer that strives to break the mould and embrace the philosophy that it is not only possible, but desirable, to create exceptional, premium wines (and foods) unfettered by the limitations of land ownership. Over lunch in a local central Otago Japanese restaurant, we took inspiration from the outside view of the South Island’s Crown Range. Being our spiritual home we decided this is where our adventure would begin. Crown Range Cellar was born off a scribble on a napkin. Fitting, because the area surrounding the Crown Range was the primary source of our much loved produce. We wondered, could the envelope be pushed? Could great wine be made outside the confines of the norm? Questions among many that we would answer as Crown Range Cellar developed. On our side, we had youthful enthusiasm and wise industry experience. To answer our questions we aligned our vision and techniques. We would push boundaries and freely experiment with different styles of winemaking. We would ensure our produce was characterised by the carefully chosen land and fruit parcels. To this day our vision is our bearing and we stay true to our philosophy. Exciting possibilities beckoned and today we are unobstructed by any one location, free to create exceptional produce. We pair ideal land and conditions with committed artisans to create magic. We believe that no one really owns land; we are merely just looking after it for future generations. As such, our Crown Range Cellar family is made up of in-house masters focused solely on their area of expertise.

Marlborough Wine Ltd
Wines with a personal touch – and a light touch too. Marlborough Wine was established in 2006 by the Joyce family. Following his career at Apple computers, Kevin Joyce shifted his focus from Silicon Valley to Marlborough, where he purchased land and the Brookdale Vineyard was born. His love of the land means that all our vineyards are fully certified sustainable, protecting them for future generations. The name Toi Toi, a flowering native grass, was given to the wines to express their majesty and expression of place. The Toi Toi is an iconic part of New Zealand’s landscape from the mountains to the ocean. Resilient and adaptable, it is able to grow in many climates and expresses itself distinctively in each; much like a grape vine. This continues to inspire us, and our wines. Curiosity takes us across our country. Our love for the land means that we understand what it creates now and will ensure it will do so for future generations. We know what grows best here and are focussed on creating exceptional wines from the regions where they exhibit their best.

Wherever you are, the world becomes a little smaller. At Duck Hunter Wines, such moments are our greatest inspiration. Our aim is to create and share fine wines that warm the moment. Duck Hunter is a partnership and close friendship forged between Mark Wilson, and Locky and Rosie Mulholland. We couldn't achieve what we do without the help of one of New Zealand’s best-known (and award winning) winemakers, Mr Kim Crawford. Mark has been in the restaurant business for over three decades, so knows the importance of having great wine to accompany good food. Rosie is an ex bank manager who handles production and export logistics, and is an avid promoter of NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Locky now runs his own logistics company in the the south pacific but still actively promotes our family of wines.
