Takatu translates as well prepared. Our Pinot Gris and Bordeaux style Merlot, Cabernet Franc Malbec are individual wines of distinction. Low yielding, densely planted vines give structured wines with flavour and concentration. Work in the vineyard is done by hand with scrupulous attention given to each vine. Harvesting is also done by hand which - aptly defines the expression - fruit of the vine work of human hands.

 Tasting by appointment only.
