Waitiri Creek Wines was established in 1993 by Alistair Ward, Paula Ramage and the Ward family.

“Waitiri” roughly translates from Maori as “thundering water”. Both our Gibbston vineyards are situated above the Kawarau River which boasts some impressive rapids.

Since our first vintage in 1998, we have forged a consistent record of awards at New Zealand wine competitions across our entire range. Our grapes are hand-picked from almost 20 hectares of vineyards in Gibbston and at Bannockburn.

In 2000, we were fortunate to purchase the Wangaloa Presbyterian Church from South Otago. Built in 1893, as our cellar door and café on the Shanagolden Block at Gibbston.
