De la Terre Viognier 2014

de la terre is the winemaking venture of Tony and Kaye Prichard who have a winery, cellar door and café complex on the Taihape Road out of Hastings. ‘de la terre’ means ‘of the earth’ and refers to the vineyards soils as well as the earth brick construction of their buildings. Since Tony left Church Road where he was chief winemaker at the end of 2005, he and his wife began the establishment of their own label, sourcing small amounts of fruit while working as a consulting winemaker for various clients.
