The family for this family-run vineyard are Ian Percy, Fiona Aitken and their children Johnny and Isobel. Both are trained geologists with many years of experience and when they started the vineyard had not a jot of viticulture experience between them which is why they enlisted the help of James Dicey, who still keeps them on track with good advice and guidance.
Dan and Sarah-Kate Dineen turn these wonderful nuggets of intensely flavoured fruit into delicious wines at their Maude Winery, just around the corner from the vineyard in Wanaka, the grapes proudly delivered each year by tractor and trailer.
