Ti Point link gone

The removal of posts from the Ti Point vineyard last month marked the end of the wine label’s association with the Mahurangi area. The property on Ti Point Road was sold in 2015 and grapes are no longer being sourced from the vineyard. Brand manager Tim Hansen says like many wineries that start with a single vineyard, Ti Point has grown steadily and now sources grapes from multiple vineyards throughout New Zealand. The Ti Point vineyard was planted by winemaker Tracy Haslam’s family in 1993. “The founding vineyard was very small – 3.5 hectares, producing about 2000 cases per vintage – and since 2000, Tracy has been growing grapes in other regions in order to meet demand and to add other varietals to the range.”
