OUR WINES

​

We handcraft the finest Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from New Zealand to produce exceptional wines. 



We like to let the fruit express itself in the wine and have nature do most of the work, interfering as little as possible for the integrity of the wine and to produce as high a quality as we can.

OUR VINEYARD

​

The grapes for all the Spoonbill wines come from Rawiri Vineyard which is located on the hillside of the Omaka Valley (Southern Valleys) of Marlborough, New Zealand.



Rawiri is owned by David Eatwell and his wife Chris. 

WINEMAKING

​

David Eatwell has been making wine around the world, starting in Oregon in 2005. He worked his first New Zealand vintage in 2006 at Te Whare Ra and has continued working every vintage since.  Spoonbill wines are made at Te Whare Ra.

Our wines are named for the majestic royal Spoonbill birds which can be found foraging in the shallows of the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand. Not far away is Rawiri vineyard where the grapes for Spoonbill wines are grown.
