Celtic Organic Winery

Story

Celtic Organic Winery began when our apple orchard produced a batch of apples that were perfect for cider, and a 9000 ltr tanker broke down near by. The synchronistic timing of these individual aspects broached a connection which turned out to be very fortuative. The initial batch of scrumpy left a little to be desired by way of sophistication, but proved popular with festival goers at the 1999 Sweetwaters festival in Auckland. We had made the batch according to an old Celtic recipe, which is, of course, 100% organic, and this aspect of the cider production process interested many of the slightly sozzled festival fanatics.

Bouyed up by this success, we decided to continue with the organic approach, but branch out to the production of fruit wines. The tanker was returned to its natural environment and the road, and we began experimenting with barrels and 200 litre batches of wine in our tranquil winery in the Horowhenua.

After ten years of experience, we are now confident that our pioneering methods of organic production have become established in the minds of our customers. We offer a diverse range of top quality products to cater for palates dry and sweet.
