When you combine over 30 years\u2019 experience with an inquisitive spirit, the result is a perfect balance of knowledge and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two traits can be found in every bottle of Lawson\u2019s Dry Hills wine<\/a> \u2013 wonderful, top quality fruit from our carefully nurtured vineyards transformed into imminently drinkable wines using modern winemaking techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The original company vineyard was planted in 1982 by Ross and Barbara Lawson, who launched the Lawson\u2019s Dry Hills label some ten years later, in 1992. Today, the company\u2019s wines include\u00a0Sauvignon Blanc<\/a>,\u00a0Riesling<\/a>,\u00a0Chardonnay<\/a>,\u00a0Pinot Gris<\/a>,\u00a0Pinot Noir<\/a>\u00a0and our famous\u00a0Gew\u00fcrztraminer<\/a>, all made from fruit grown in the Wairau, Waihopai, Omaka and\u00a0Awatere Valleys<\/a>. These different regions and carefully selected vineyard sites provide varying characteristics derived from the different soils and microclimates, giving many options when it comes to blending to that much-anticipated Lawson\u2019s style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
