Ruby Bay Vineyard was established in 2002 with the sole aim of making a range of Single Vineyard wines that would be a true expression of their soils. After searching country wide for the perfect vineyard location, Nelson's maritime climate, complemented by the highest number of sunshine hours in the country, proved irresistible. The 25 acre coastal block was ideal, comprising three gently rolling ridges, north facing aspect and rich Moutere clay soils - with the added bonus of wonderful sea and mountain views!
Using grapes exclusively from our own vineyard, we strive to produce wines with intensity of flavour, that are well balanced, whilst reflecting our unique maritime microclimate. Some four years and 12,000 vines later, varietals Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling now bask under the hot Nelson sunshine.
Wine tastings & sales are available in our wine cellar, in Summer Thursday to Monday 11am to 4pm and by appointment at other times. Online sales from our website all year round. NZ orders are shipped freight free and overseas shipping rates are available upon request.
We also offer luxurious 5 star accommodation in both our Lodge and Vineyard Cottage, overlooking the vineyard and out to Tasman Bay beyond. Offering the discerning traveller an insider's perspective of Nelson's vibrant wine region, whilst experiencing the very best in hospitality and gourmet produce.
