Gordon Russell, Esk Valley winemaker, has instilled the winery’s reputation over many years, introducing new grape varieties and wine styles to the Hawke’s Bay region and formulating unique wines for discerning individuals. With his distinctive and natural approach to winemaking, Russell describes the Great Dirt range as a simple concept.
“All vineyards have a unique fingerprint that you can taste in its wine. While all wines echo the site in which the grapes are grown, only a very small number can create truly fine wine.”
