Hamden Estate

Hamden, a mix of the family names was to become their Estate. Located on the Dry River Teraces in Martinborough, the soils drain free, producing premium wine with intense varietal flavours. The vines were planted by the owners, their daughters and loyal friends whose enthusiasm for digging holes in the stony river bed waned after the first hour. The grapes were picked with some assistance and abundant advice from the three daughters, of which only some advice was related to the vineyard. This is clearly evident in the end result.
