HUANGARUA OLIVES

After much clearing of almost every species of thistle and many weeds the grove was planted in 2005 in what used to be 'the bull run' alongside the Huangarua River just outside Martinborough. The soil here shares the same qualities that make Martinborough the internationally renowned wine growing region that it is. We take the long-term view that one is only ever a care-taker of the land, that we have a responsibility to maintain and improve it whenever possible. To that end we keep a close eye on the soil, its structure and its health, aiming to manage the grove in as natural a way as possible without being certified organic.
