Acquired by entrepreneur Mr. Sato in 1998 and joined with Ludwig in 2015, the winery is further enhancing the wine quality.
WINERY
Foundation in 1988. Thanking to the blessed terroir of Hawke's Bay on the North Island of New Zealand, Waimarama produces small lots of high-quality wines primarily from Bordeaux varieties and Syrah.
Its winemaking is characterized by precise manual works and grape sorting.
Chase Arquette who leads sustainable winegrowing, teamed up with Ludwig Vanellon, a world-renowned winemaker to achieve the highest quality.
New Zealand boasts diverse climates and Hawke's Bay is particularly blessed with the warm climate and abundant sunshine. It is known as an excellent wine region where red varieties mature perfectly.
Supported by the gravelly soils and maritime climate, meticulous manual managements bring up high-quality grapes.
With the focus on Bordeaux varieties, a diverse range of grapes such as Cabernets, Merlot, Syrah, and Malbec are cultivated.
Since the introduction of sustainable agriculture in 2002 at Waimarama, we have been practicing meticulous handcrafted winemaking
in harmony with nature.
