On Tasting This Friday
Meet the Winemaker
After returning to Aotearoa/New Zealand to recover from a hit-and run accident, Hayden Johnston was reminded of how much he loved the area and dreamt of creating an elegant and quality winery to make outstanding, quality expressions of the area.
The wines are made in a sustainable manner, using organic practices to maintain soil health and vine condition, composting, and the use of soil probes to ensure the right amount of water is delivered to each vine.
Alongside his Tarras Vineyards wines, Hayden also has his KURU KURU label, which was inspired by his Maori 4th great grandmother, Kuru Kuru, of the Ngai Tahu tribe. His ancestry is represented on each bottle of KURU KURU, proudly displaying a portrayal of her moko kauae, the mark carved on her chin, signaling her respected position in the Maori society.
When: Friday May 17th from 5pm
See you at the Vine tasting bench!!
