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 Vineyard is looking lovely especially now the sun is
out. The reds are cropping heavily and Ken is busy
bunch thinning.
Unfortunately someone in the neighbourhood sprayed
with a hormone spray at a critical time in the spring and
our Chardonnay has been badly effected so we will have no
fruit from that this year. The Pinot Gris, although
effected, has a small crop on it so we will net it and see
what happens.
We intend having an open weeked at the end of Febuary and
look forward to introducing our latest wines. However
more about that later but put a circle around the last weekend
in Febuary.
