Welcome to Waipara Springs

Vineyard Waipara Springs is a boutique vineyard and winery located in the heart of the Waipara Valley. Planted in the early 1980’s the vineyard contains some of the oldest vines in the valley providing the entirely estate grown wines with a depth and intensity that only old vines can produce.

The vineyard of 26 hectares is planted with Riesling, Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Pinot noir and Merlot with the wines crafted in two differing styles, the fresh fruit driven wines under the Waipara Springs label and the structurally driven wines of the Premo label.

On the Estate we also have the Wine bar where all our wines can be sampled including rare older vintages and the Waipara Springs Cafe is famous for its tempting array of seasonal dishes utilising fresh local produce.

Featured Wine

WAIPARA SPRINGS RIESLING 2008

This is a Riesling with vibrant acidity, perfectly balanced with natural fruit sugars. Intense aroma of mandarin with subtle spice and crisp minerality lead to a palate that is alive with zesty acidity. Bottled with some natural carbon dioxide for a tantalising lift.
