Winemaking at Dry River
„Nature. Nurture. Knowledge.“ – this is the mantra of the winery. Fine wine is a combination of the characteristics of the Earth, and a unique knowledge of how to get the best out of this special place they call home. The philosophy centres on working in harmony with the land, allowing each vintage to express its true character and reflect the unique terroir.
Dry River achieves impressive concentration in all its reds by maintaining low yields and manipulating the vine canopy to expose the fruit to sunlight early in the ripening season.
The name Dry River
The name Dry River was that of one of the earliest South Wairarapa sheep stations (around 1877).
