QUIET

WAITAKI VALLEY, NORTH OTAGO

OUR VALLEY

Remote, raw and breathtakingly beautiful, Waitaki is unlike anywhere else.

Its limestone soils and long ripening seasons create wines with tension, structure and depth. This is not an easy place to grow. But the reward? Quiet, uncompromising elegance.

Waitaki Valley born from a geological shift 38 million years ago is a winemakers dream characterised by gorgeous valleys, braided rivers and glacial lakes with the Southern Alps as a backdrop. 

OUR VINEYARD

Chief Winemaker Antony Worch brings French sensibility to our Southern terroir, applying a thoughtful, hands-on approach to each vintage. Every vine is tended with care, every grape hand-harvested, and every bottle crafted to reflect the unique beauty of the Waitaki Valley.

Q WINE yields low-intervention, small-batch wines of character and clarity. Our terroir is both challenging and rewarding, dry seasons and mineral-rich soils forge wines that are edgy, elegant, and expressive.

OUR FOCUS

Where every bottle tells the story of our land. 

6 hectares planted, in three grape varieties. Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Each wine shaped by the land and the season. Our approach is minimalist, sustainable, and always evolving.

We make wine not to impress, but to express.

To connect the drinker to the land, the season, and the story.

REMARQUES

“Each bottle is a tribute to the land and a conversation between the vintage, vine and maker.”
