Settled on the world’s eastern edge in New Zealand, our vines are the first in the world to see the light

About Us

The Lake Road journey began with the first vines planted in 1975, and for three generations the Blampied family have been building on their expert knowledge of winegrowing.

Vineyards

As well as producing wines from our own vineyards, Lake Road works with a small number of artisan growers and producers throughout New Zealand. Our brief is a simple one - create iconic wines, that capture the abundant sunshine and the taste of the land we call home.

Pristine and intensely aromatic, the wine shows Granny Smith apple, lemon zest, apricot and jasmine aromas, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome offering bright fruit flavours with juicy acidity, making it instantly appealing.

Lake Road 2021 Gisborne Pinot Gris

93 POINTS | ★★★★★

It's splendidly fruited and fragrant on the nose with golden peach, ripe pear, rockmelon and rich floral aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and fruit intensity beautifully supported by supple mouthfeel and juicy acidity, making it delightfully drinkable.

Lake Road Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Marlborough

93 POINTS | ★★★★★

Powerfully expressed, the fabulous bouquet shows passionfruit, fresh apple, feijoa and lime zest characters. The palate is lively and refreshing with plenty of pristine fruit flavours backed by fine texture and bright acidity. A real crowd-pleasing sauvignon with loads of delectable flavours.
