2022 Season Detail: A cool growing season for the Upper Moutere area with above average rainfall. The harvest period had low rainfall with typical night temperatures. The harvest was significantly later than normal across varietals, with some markedly late in achieving aroma targets. Aromas were highly expressive at harvest. Tropical fruit complexity was found across most of our varietals. Grown with love, full of terps and thiols.

Sunrise Valley Terroir: Clay rich loam and river gravels at the head of Nelson's iconic Moutere Valley make up our soils. The maritime microclimate of the valley has exceptionally high UV levels relative to growing degree days. When combined with the excellent diurnal temperature range, it allows us to develop high levels of aromatic compounds in our hops.
