Andrew and Cynthia Hendry founded Coopers Creek in 1980. They started with 4 hectares in the Huapai where they planted Merlot and Chardonnay. Over time, the business has expanded to include estate vineyards in Hawkes Bay as well as sourcing from other principal New Zealand wine growing regions, including Marlborough, an area well known for premium Pinot Noir production. “Ripe black cherry and strawberry notes laced with a richness of spice and oak overtones. A wine style that furthers New Zealand’s reputation as one of the few countries to have successfully come to grips with this fickle, supremely aristocratic grape.” Winery notes. |
