MILCREST ESTATE VINEYARD AND LUXURY ACCOMMODATION
Milcrest Estate is a small, New Zealand, boutique vineyard, privately owned by Terry Milton and Christine Cook and is situated in Hope, Nelson at the top of New Zealand's South Island. It is located at the foothills of the Richmond Ranges and was established in 2006.
Prior to 2006, the 6 ha property was used to grow export boysenberries, before being converted to a vineyard producing premium quality Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
The Nelson wine region of New Zealand is well known for its stunning, award winning, aromatic style wines, in particular Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurtztramminer and Riesling varieties.
Nelson has two distinct grape growing areas within the region, the Tasman area, which contain deep rich Moutere clays and the Waimea Plains which contain stony alluvial river gravels.
In 2009, Milcrest Estate launched its first vintage of boutique wines, producing a gorgeous Milcrest Sauvignon Blanc from grapes grown predominantly on the homeblock and a full bodied 2008 Milcrest Pinot Noir, which is drinking superbly. The 2010 vintage will see the addition of a Milcrest Estate Pinot Gris, Riesling and a 2009 Pinot Noir added to the range.
Milcrest Estate cellar door is due to open in Late July of 2010, offering the aforementioned range of Milcrest boutique Nelson wines. Tastings and direct sales will be available. Tastings are presently available by appointment. Milcrest Estate is committed to producing top quality New Zealand wines which will further enhance the Nelson wine region's reputation for quality new world wines.
The vineyard now offers guests, two brand new superbly appointed luxury accommodation suites, with stunning views of the Milcrest Estate vineyard, Mount Arthur and the Richmond ranges. Guests can enjoy their stay within a fully operational boutique vineyard, while sampling the beautifully crafted New Zealand wines on offer in a totally relaxed environment.
Milcrest Estate also offers its stunning vineyard and setting, accommodation suites and use of the Estate for private marquee wedding functions and this is proving to be very popular. A template covering all aspects and requirements of a marquee wedding is available by contacting Terry or Christine through the contact page. Inspections of the property are welcome.
