About
The Thomas Estate Vineyard is located at Batch Winery on Waiheke Island, and was purchased in 2009 with established vines of almost 20 years. They have 5.5 hectares planted today, consisting of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, Flora and Syrah.
As the highest vineyard on Waiheke Island, at 200 m of elevation, they don’t have the same heat concentration as vineyards planted at lower altitudes. Cooler nights give good phenolics and flavour. This combined with clay soils, Thomas Estate Vineyard have the perfect terroir to offer complex and delicate wines with focus on Chardonnay and Syrah.
Thomas Estate Vineyard are keeping it small, exclusive and boutique. They are growing vines with a focus on balance and sustainability to produce intensely concentrated and age worthy wines.
“We want to develop emotions with memorable wines.” .
