Description
A unique opportunity to secure a lovely four acre block of land only 800 metres from the square, yet with a peacefulness & delightful rural outlook that belies its position. Approximately half of the land has been developed as a vineyard over the last 20yrs, the heavier soils lending themselves to the Merlot grown with the first small vintage in 1989 & since then some amazing results have been achieved. The Merlot Cabernet wines made are elegant & full. There have been numerous medals & five star ratings from wine reviews & the 2001 vintage Merlot / Cabernet / Cabernet Franc was awarded 5 stars, one of the two top merlot blends of New Zealand. The 2003 vintage has been rated the top red wine of Martinborough at the 2006 Japanese Winart tastings - no mean feat against the Pinot Noir culture that dominates the reds grown in the region. If you are not so passionate about your wines this is still a lovely piece of land to build your dream home with several options. You could have someone manage the vines, carry out the necessary viticulture & have your wine made for you or sell the fruit on a contract basis that requires no work but you would still retain the ambience of a working vineyard. Your options are many for the remaining undeveloped land - more grapes, olives, animals or a homestay cottage. $450,000 + gst. For more information on the history of the vineyard & wines visit www.benfieldanddelamare.co.nz and if you would like to sample some of the produce you can place an order for $55.00 a bottle.
