Vavasour is the founding winery of the Awatere valley, which was once declared too extreme for vines, but Vavasour took its chances planting its first vines in 1986. The unforgiving terrain and cooler climate has been rewarding wine lovers with an exceptional range of grape varietals that could be different to how you have tasted them before.
