Proud of Our Roots

To New Beginnings

In 1998 Margaret and Derek
Hagar bought land on the west bank of the Ruamahanga River which was part of
the original Lansdowne Estate. The terrain with its dry climate, cool nights
and long hot sunny days with stony, clay over limestone soil compare favorably
with any in the world for the cultivation of Burgundian wines.  

Our Mission

After years of battling the stoney, free-draining soil, Lansdowne successfully revived the cultivation of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. The six-acre vineyard is designed to produce some of the finest wine in the world.
