Our grove, being situated in the Wairau Valley, enjoys high sunshine hours with the cold autumn nights essential to produce the distinctive fruitier flavours of our oils.
The same conditions that produce the famed Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir produce outstanding Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The one oil we entered in the 2010 Olives New Zealand Awards won Best in Class/Gold Medal in the intense oils category and this was backed up a month later by the oil winning a gold medal in the Canterbury A&P Gourmet Oil Award
Production from the 2400 tree grove is intentionally limited to a maximum of 4000 litres to guarantee quality.
The grove is currently certified BioGro C1 In Conversion.
