We were always destined to make our own wine. Sophie’s parents, James & Wendy Healy have been in the wine industry for over 40 years. Working with the iconic Cloudy Bay and then going on to co-establish Dog Point Vineyard in Marlborough. Mark’s Dad Linton has been a viticulturist for just as long, working throughout New Zealand and then planting a vineyard in the Wairarapa in the early 90’s.

We grew up immersed in wine and we love drinking Chardonnay. In our opinion the rolling hills of the beautiful Moutere Valley in the Nelson- Tasman region of New Zealand is where Chardonnay thrives. Rich clay soils, high sunshine hours and a glorious maritime climate is perfect for making a deliciously fresh and highly textured style that we, and hopefully you, enjoy.

Spring 2019 marked the planting of our very own vineyard in the Moutere and we’re looking forward to sharing our wines from this beautiful place with you. This is where our name originates – from the picturesque Abel Tasman National Park located on our doorstep at the top of New Zealand’s South Island.
