Riverlore pays tribute to the Taniwha, a creature that lives in pools, caves and shallow waters that protect people and places in Māori mythology. The wines of Riverlore are sourced from the Rose family’s estate vineyards.
Phil and Chris Rose were originally growing alfalfa for export to Japan. Then the 1970’s oil shock hit which made the harvesting and drying of alfalfa uneconomic. The Roses looked for an alternative use for their land and decided to plant grapes. After battling some major objections around land use, Phil and Chris finally gained consent and started establishing their vineyards in 1978. In true pioneering spirit, they began hand planting vines and raising a family. After contract growing grapes for some years, they decided to produce their own wine in 1991.
