THE VINEYARDS

Sherwood Estate's winery is located in the picturesque Waipara Valley, a 45-minute drive north of the city of Christchurch, where Sherwood Estate own four separate vineyards - three are fully planted with the fourth due for planting in the Spring of 2004.

Four vineyards are also owned by Sherwood Estate in the famed Marlborough Region, at the top of the South Island.

Sherwood Estate is very much a personal family business, with Dayne and Jill owning and operating it since the late 1980's.
