| = Owned by Stephen and Thea Farquharson and Stephen's sister and brother-in-law, Jane and Geoff Bews, who are all committed to producing top quality grapes and wine and are a truly family owned and run business. We are originally all from farming backgrounds in North Otago, then more recently working in IT both in Wellington and overseas.
Steve and Thea were working in IT in the UK 1998 to 2004 and Geoff was working in IT in the UK and Switzerland 1998 to 2004. We all came back to Cromwell to run the vineyard at the end of 2004 in time for our first vintage 2005.
Steve studied viticulture, winemaking, the wine trade and WSET Diploma in Wine at Plumpton College in the UK before setting up a wine importation company, Extreme Wines and selling wine in the UK 2003 to 2004. Jane studied viticulture at Plumpton College also.
