OUR WINEMAKER
The essence of New Zealand wine is captured for Lighthouse by our winemaker Ben Austin.
After working on vineyards locally and internationally. Ben has returned home to tell the story of New Zealand wine.
His techniques are minimal, intervening only when necessary, letting the fruit and the land do its job. The result of his classical approach are complex layered wines with depth, and uniquely New Zealand characteristics that stand up to the best in the world.
