At Rimapere, each wine is born from the living energy of the Wairau valley.

Nature and the memory of peoples have been congregating on this land for millennia; each deft and precise gesture transforms the material into a work of art, preserving the purity of the fruit and unveiling the soul of the place. To taste a Rimapere wine is to travel via instinct and emotion, to feel the power of the terroir and the memory that resonates there. Rimapere Controlled grass cover, sowing of cover crops and mechanical working of the soil fosters intense microbial life and essential biodiversity. Guided by a philosophy of regenerative viticulture, the estate relies on practices that strengthen deep rooting, improve natural resilience and preserve the balance of the terroir. Having been engaged in the process of organic conversion since 2020, the estate obtained its certification in 2025. 

Akarua comes from a terroir of extremes, where heat and cold shape each element to unveil the intense duality at play.

Every gesture, every detail and every crop come together to create a wine whose very duality is a source of wealth and excellence.Akarua In a winery defined by an extreme climate and surrounded by mountains, Edmond de Rothschild redefines a type of winemaking that is integrated into the landscape and respectful of its environment. Managed using regenerative viticulture and undergoing organic conversion since the 2023 vintage, the domain will be certified from 2026 onward. Here they have created an underground irrigation system, which will save water and imitate the effect of rainfall to better hydrate the soil deeper down; they sow legumes and flowers between the rows to retain water and create the carbon chains necessary to sustain life and to remineralize the substrate.
