ORIGIN takes us back to where the story began, shining a light on the regions where your favourite grapes grow. It is a vehicle for discovery, wine that takes you on an adventure, and wine worth returning home to.

We’re on a journey of DISCOVERY. We’d love you to join us in Nelson…

Origin Pinot Noir

You probably won’t be able to find the vineyards for our Pinot Noir. Shouldering the vineyard is the entrance to the deepest cave in the Southern Hemisphere—a dark contrast to the vines above that collect the most sunshine Aotearoa has to offer.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red with an attractive savoury nose with hints of fungi and cherry - this is no berry bomb. Cherry and spice continue on the palate with just the right amount of smooth and firm tannins. This is a wine you can swig and think about.

Why we love Nelson

Nelson/Whakatū boasts some of the most astounding and varied scenery anywhere in New Zealand. Where else can you sink your toes into golden sand staring out across pristine blue water to looming snowcapped mountains, and knowing that just beneath lies an immense network of caves reaching inconceivable depths?

Nelson was only recently usurped as the sunniest please in New Zealand but we’d like to call a recount because it is the abundance of sunshine that plays a crucial role in wine production in this region.
