The philosophy is simple - Make the best wines they can, not the most wine they can. The goal is wines that are a true expression of place.

Jeremy is a 4th generation winemaker, from a family with a 100-year winemaking history in New Zealand. Katherine is pure energy and passion, she studied viticulture and winemaking from New Zealand, while living in France, and doing vintages in Bordeaux.

Big Sky Wines started in 2005. On returning to New Zealand from France, we knew the time was right to pursue our long held ambition – to make world-class, hand-crafted wines that give true expression to the character of their place. We were drawn to the Te Muna Valley, its deep gravels, low rainfall, warm days and cool nights, make it ideal for growing pinot noir. For Katherine & Jeremy, fine wine is all about place. And people.

Named Big Sky because for those cloudless summer days out here that seem to go on forever, or those sparkling clear nights that are more silver than black, with the stars nearly close enough to touch.
