Description

Vineyard

Oban Station is situated in the rolling hills of Raukawa, Hawke’s Bay. This land has been farmed by the Richmond family for generations with the first vines planted in the early 1990’s.

The vineyard is planted on a North-North East facing steep hillside that gives it a great sun aspect, coupled with the wind coming over the hill, blowing away any potentially damaging frosts. The site was chosen due to its distinctive limestone and free draining loam soils, akin to Burgundy, and associated with quality. Its unique topography and soils ensure that only the best fruit comes off this block .
