TOUR - AURUM

The name Aurum (Latin for Gold) is a reflection of the fact that both vineyards have been established near old gold workings. 45th Parallel Vineyard is situated on terraces below rare ‘blowdown’ sluicings and the Riesling and Pinot Gris are planted in the gravel washout from this 19th century operation.

Te Wairere Vineyard, settled into the edge of Lake Dunstan at McNulty Inlet (Te Wairere is the Maori name for the north arm of Lake Dunstan) is situated close to the gold dredging operations of the 19th and early 20th century.
