To stand out from the crowd, we’re doing things a little differently… Tempranillo dominant Rose! We are the only vineyard on Waiheke to have this Spanish  delight, making it a fun alternative to other Rose styles. Made in a dry style, it’s perfect for those hot summer months. Zesty and fresh on the palate with juicy  acidity and aromas of red fruits and florals, what’s not to love?

4.5 Stars—Michael Cooper

Obsidian Vineyard nestles in the coastal hills of the Onetangi Valley adjacent to the northern coast of Waiheke Island. Here, small batches of wine are grown on four discrete hillsides set out in an amphitheatre-like fashion. The sheltered vines enjoy high levels of heat summation, tempered by the maritime breeze. The mineralized clay soil is rich in iron and manganese oxides, and overlays ancient weathered rock. These conditions perfectly suit the noble red and white grapes originating from the Mediterranean countries.
