Lynfer Estate is a boutique, family-run vineyard established in 1999 by David and Coleen Boyd. From Northern Ireland and the Falkland Islands respectively, David and Coleen came to Aotearoa just over 30 years ago, seeking different lifestyle opportunities – Lynfer Estate is the fulfilment of that goal.
Nestled among other vineyards and olive groves on Dakins Road, Lynfer Estate’s location on the edge of the Ruamahanga River was carefully selected. Low annual rainfall, long summer months of warm days and cool nights, and the ideal natural soil structure provide the perfect recipe to create world-class cool climate wines; proven time and time again over the past 20 years.
With 11 hectares of vines planted, they produce Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and a Pinot Noir Rose. The wines are all true reflections of the land on which the grapes are grown, and the care and passion that are poured into each and every bottle.
A cellar door is planned for the near future, however if you call ahead they’d be delighted to set up a visit and tasting for you and your friends. There’s nothing better than enjoying beautiful wine on their vineyard terrace, overlooking the expansive views of the Gladstone area.
