Why Jasper Ridge?

The french term ‘terroir’ describes the combination of the land, climate and environment in which vines are grown and that gives wine distinctive characters.

The Estate was named after Jaspillite (known as Jasper), a semi-precious stone created under pressure and over time, hundreds of millions of years, formed by injected lava in Greywacke sandstone formations that can found in the land around the site on Waiheke Island.

The ridge line that runs along Cowes Bay Road between the estate and Omaru Bay protects the vines from the sometimes punishing north winds and rain of the Hauraki Gulf.

The estate produces unique wine thanks to the enrichment from the Jasper and soils below ground and protection from the ridge above.

The design of the Jasper Ridge Estate logo takes the elements of Jasper, the ridge line and the contours of the land that forms the estate.
