Poppy and Shayne Hammond have lived and breathed Martinborough wine for the better part of thirty years. In 2012, the winemaker–viticulturist duo left their influential positions at the region's iconic Dry River, where Poppy had been overseeing winemaking since 2001.
The dream was to forge their own path that championed both Martinborough's capacity for world-class aromatic whites and pinot noir, in addition to catering to Poppy and Shayne's love of hospitality and entertaining.
