About Our Vineyard
Obsidian vineyard nestles in the coastal hills on the northern coast of Waiheke Island, in the Onetangi
Valley. Obsidian has developed a reputation for
exceptional quality and innovation, being the first
vineyard on Waiheke Island and the upper North Island to plant Mediterranean varieties – tempranillo and
montepulciano. Under two labels – Obsidian and
Weeping Sands – our extensive range of single vineyard wines have won numerous awards including international Trophies for the syrah and montepulciano. The range includes – syrah, bordeaux-blends, chardonnay, viognier, pinot gris, rose, tempranillo, and montepulciano.
The vineyard is named after Obsidian, a volcanic glass, which historically was highly sought after by Maori tribes. The flagship wines are labeled under the name Obsidian and mirror the beauty and the intensity of this semi-precious stone.
The wines labeled under the name Weeping Sands
represents the premium range renowned for innovation and approachability. Weeping Sands is the English translation of Onetangi, the most spectacular beach on the island.
