Welcome to Kina Cliffs Vineyard

Kina Cliffs is a family owned boutique vineyard that overlooks Tasman Bay and is near the towering cliffs of the Kina Peninsula, 30 minutes drive from Nelson. These sea-washed cliffs expose the ancient Moutere clay gravels that also lie beneath the vineyard and are known locally to produce a full-bodied, robust grape flavour.

This soil, the breezy coastal climate, the high sunshine hours, the hand-tended low yield vines and the expertise of dedicated local winemakers are all engaged to produce a premium wine.

Kina Cliffs is an accredited Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand vineyard and produces Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wine, with Pinot Gris coming soon.

 We have just released our 2009 Pinot Noir and Reserve Pinot Noir. Our 2010 Sauvignon Blanc has just been bottled and will be released prior to Christmas. Limited quantities of our award winning 2009 Sauvignon Blanc are still available.

I tried your Sauvignon Blanc last week on holidays in Nelson at a cafe/bar/restaurant at the end of the road that leads to the front of the Nelson cathedral. Without reservation it is one of the best sauvignon blanc wines I've ever tasted - Ed Humphries, NSW
