About the Winery

Situated amidst the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Marlborough region in New Zealand, the Rimapere vineyard, owned by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, spans over twenty-six hectares of vine-planted land. This illustrious winery benefits enormously from the region's mild climate, plentiful sunlight, and fertile soil, all of which culminate to yield a bounty of premium-quality Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir grapes each harvest season.

The Rimapere vineyard was purchased by Baron Benjamin, a scion of the celebrated Rothschild dynasty, in 2012. The Rothschild family, famed internationally for their momentous contributions to the world of finance, diversified their portfolio to include noteworthy wine estates. It was Baron Edmond de Rothschild, Benjamin's father, who led the family foray into winemaking in the 1970s, setting a path his son would emulate diligently in time.

Today, Rimapere represents a unique fusion of Baron Edmond de Rothschild's legacies: his endeavour to uphold the excellence and prestige of French viticulture married artfully with the undeniable appeal of New Zealand’s wines. The vineyard, meticulously managed and cultivated to ensure sustainable winemaking practices, is privileged to house some of the oldest vines in the Marlborough region.
