Stonecroft

Stonecroft is a small, family owned winery making organic Gimblett Gravels wines in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The owners are Dermot McCollum and Andria Monin, who live on the Roy's Hill vineyard with their two children Emer and Oscar, plus Jasper the cat and Stanley the chocolate lab.

Stonecroft seeks to express through their wines the unique character of their vineyards and each vintage. Their philosophy is to make wines which are intense, full-bodied, elegant and fruit-driven, but capable of significant bottle development. The ability of their wines to improve in bottle has been demonstrated over more than 20 years, with many of the early examples still drinking well. Their total production is very small; with around 3,500 cases produced annually. Both the vineyards and the winery are certified organic.
