The vineyards from which Kono sources its grapes are spread predominantly throughout the sub-regions of Marlborough.
Each have their own unique micro climate and soil type, each with its own distinct flavour profile.

The gift of knowledge and rich, unspoiled lands have created award winning wines over flowing with personality and purity.
