A boutique vineyard, small in size, big on character..."Our sole objective is to produce small amounts of truly 'iconic' red wine. We have the resources and the commitment to be quality driven throughout the entire process. Unless the year is an outstanding one we simply will not produce wine under our label." Clyde and Farida Cooper.Situated in a warm, north facing valley, Runner Duck Estate catches all day sun and enjoys a long temperate and even growing season with few heat spikes. The 3 hectares of vines are divided into two small lots so that each can be individually managed to produce the best fruit possible. The grapes are planted following the contours of the land and lie on a north-south facing slope, allowing balanced sun exposure on both sides their canopy, allowing optimum ripening.Runner Duck Estate's Cellar Door is situated at our restaurant Plume, 49a Sharp Road, Matakana. Plume's Cellar Door is open daily for wine tastings or to pick up the wine to add to your wine cellar.We can't think of any better way to while away a Spring afternoon in Matakana than on Plume's deck, sharing a tasting platter and enjoying some great local reds, simply perfect!
