Zealandia Sauvignon Blanc

NEW ZEALAND ~ North Canterbury Waipara Valley: The Hermit Ram

The Hermit Ram has been producing wine for over a decade, working across New Zealand with growers in distinctive places. The wines are shaped by site, season, and restraint. 

They are naturally fermented, handled minimally, and released when ready. Some vineyards are long-standing relationships. One vineyard is still being established. 

These sites are chosen for exposure, natural tension, and their ability to retain definition over time rather than volume. Alongside this, a vineyard is being established on limestone in the Waipara Gorge. The site is young and not yet producing wine. It is difficult, wind-exposed, and slow to settle. 

Nothing from this place is rushed. Nothing is promised.
