Hitchen Road Vineyard Pokeno new zealand

Hitchen Road Vineyard is a 5 acre vineyard on very favourable north facing slopes above the Pokeno Village, just south of the Bombay Hills. It is part of a 100 acre pastoral farm and has a beautiful view over the North Waikato.

All the wines are hand crafted here from grapes that are grown on the property. The only process that takes place off site is bottling.

We are 40 minutes south of the Auckland CBD and 50 minutes north of Hamilton. Visiting the winery is by appointment - call us on 09 233 6722 or 0274 948 737.

What's Happening at Hitchen Road Vineyard?

The Harvest is over. With all the sun we've had, we are delighted by the quality of the grapes.

Exciting for us was the fact that we were able to harvest a small commercial amount of Montipulciano - we were only able to make 1 barrel and if it's as good as the small experimental amount we made last year, we're sure it will disappear very quickly once it gets into the bottle - you will need to be quick!

The 2008 Malbec and Pinotage are now sold out.

We have back from the bottlers 2009 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay with it's typical stone fruit aromas, buttery flavour, crystal clarity and clean finish on the palate.  For those that prefer the crispness  of an Unwooded Chardonnay this is still available as are our Dolcetto and Rose.
