About the Winery

Situated amidst the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Marlborough region in New Zealand, the Rimapere vineyard, owned by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, spans over twenty-six hectares of vine-planted land. This illustrious winery benefits enormously from the region's mild climate, plentiful sunlight, and fertile soil, all of which culminate to yield a bounty of premium-quality Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir grapes each harvest season.

The Rimapere vineyard was purchased by Baron Benjamin, a scion of the celebrated Rothschild dynasty, in 2012. The Rothschild family, famed internationally for their momentous contributions to the world of finance, diversified their portfolio to include noteworthy wine estates.
