Our Story

Founded in 1999, Terrace Edge is a boutique winery that has meticulously cultivated nine high-quality grape varieties over the past 20 years. Through continuous exploration and dedicated craftsmanship, the winery has embraced organic farming practices that not only sustain soil vitality but also support a thriving and diverse ecosystem. This commitment to organic viticulture has earned Terrace Edge the prestigious title of New Zealand Organic Vineyard Champion three times: in 2018, 2021, and 2025.

Terrace Edge employs advanced planting techniques that respect nature. The winery applies manual care, opting for biological sprays instead of chemical treatments, and introduces beneficial fungi and bacteria to maintain the vineyard's ecological balance. Wildflowers are strategically planted within specific row spacings to attract beneficial insects, and hundreds of native plants adorn the estate. These efforts allow the vines to focus on ripening the fruit, enhancing the robustness and maturity of the grape skins. The result is a wine that boasts richer flavors and a complex tannin structure.

Terrace Edge wines fully express the unique terroir of the vineyard, characterized by exceptional ripeness, texture, minerality, and a rich aroma profile—all of which are deeply rooted in the distinctive qualities of the Glasnevin gravel soil in Waipara Valley, North Canterbury.
