“Vinewise Viticulture are driven by a passion and commitment to their work -we know Archangel is in the very best of hands. Our vineyard is maintained to the highest standard; using sustainable practices, the team at Vinewise carefully monitor the soil and its environment, ensuring the vines remain balanced and in good health. It’s these efforts and more that translate to the excellent wine that Archangel produces.”

“Bald Hills has enjoyed the fastidious attention of the Vinewise Viticulture principals and their team since the very beginning. I can attribute a significant portion of our past and ongoing success to the input of Vinewise.”

“Vinewise are a pleasure to deal with. Grant, Gary and their team are professional and approachable, offering a quality viticultural service. They are flexible enough to manage the different requirements of our vineyards, in an open, transparent manner.”

“When Kingsmill was looking for a viticulturist, we asked around and Grant Rolston of Vinewise came highly recommended. Vinewise understands our focus on quality rather than quantity and manages the vineyard accordingly. They have a great team and we are certainly pleased with the work they do for us.”

“When I became winemaker for Olssens, I had my reservations about working with a contract viticulturist versus a permanent viticulturist. In the last 14 months, Grant Rolston and his team have dispelled all my doubts and I feel confident in his ability to deliver accurate crop estimates and pristine fruit. His measures to prevent disease pressure are effective and he is quick to react when issues surface. We had a difficult year with botrytis in our 2008 Riesling and Grant made effective changes that helped ease the pressure in 2009. He enthusiastically supported my efforts to make Olssens’ first off-dry style (Annieburn) Riesling which recently won a trophy at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards.”

“Quartz Reef’s ongoing conversion to biodynamic viticulture would not have been such a success without the practical input of Vinewise Viticulture. We rely on Grant and his experienced team for the day-to-day running of our vineyards in line with the stringent rules set down by Demeter NZ.”
