Highfield Estate

Established in 1989, Highfield’s Tuscan inspired winery tower stands tall on the Brookby Ridge with commanding views over the Wairau Valley. Since 1999 Al Soper has held the reins as winemaker, hand crafting ultra premium, food friendly wines. Al users only free run juice (so no pressings) and the wines are aged on yeast lees to gain complexity and texture. An indulgent and expensive decision but one that guarantees wines of the highest quality. Highfield’s flagship wine Elstree Cuvée Brut has been lauded as ‘one of the most champagne like NZ sparklings’ while the Sauvignon Blanc has won gold or trophy each year for over a decade.
