Zealand’s South Island where a mountain stream flows through magnificent terrain and native bush. We liked the idea of naming our wine after a place that represents New Zealand at its purest as well as the spiritual sense of place the name evoked. We further found that in myth and legend Dancing Water is the name given to a magical substance once sought by alchemists, an elixir of life believed to rejuvenate, enrich and maintain life indefinitely.
Dancing Water perfectly reflects our passion and philosophy of wine and wine making, seeking the timeless, moving and mystical qualities that signify great quality wine.
