We're super excited to partner with Askerne Estate Winery - a small boutique family-owned business that was established in 1993 by John and Kathryn Loughlin, who remain the owners today. Askerne makes all its wines from a single 20 hectare vineyard near Havelock North. Much of the vineyard is old Tuki Tuki River bed that was reclaimed from the river following the 1931 Napier Earthquake. The site has six different soils, predominantly river silts, sands and gravels. Askerne vineyard is located approximately three kilometres from the coast and the maritime influences on its climate reflect in our wines. Askerne is well known for its aromatic white wines and Chardonnay, but has also had significant success with red and dessert wines.
