Johner Estate Wine
In the early 1970s Karl Heinz
Johner studied Oenology and
Viticulture in Geisenheim /
Germany. In those days he
always dreamed of traveling
to Australia and visiting the
vineyards “down-under”. But
having a young family with
two little children it all
remained a dream until his
son Patrick was sent off, in
1998 as a young man, to
complete a vintage in
Australia. And as you can
imagine, for Karl, it was
finally a great excuse to visit
the vineyards of Australia and
pick up his son…
Together with a student
colleague of Patrick’s, the
Australian trip culminated in
a ‘Pinot Noir World Tour’
visiting New Zealand and then
Oregon and Northern
California before returning
home to Germany.
They returned home with a
big grin on their faces and a
plan to set up a second
winery in New Zealand.
Yes, in those days, and still,
New Zealand showed a
booming spirit. Growing
grapes under these conditions
was fun, with naturally low
yields, great fruit and high
quality wines. Land prices, a
little away of the main wine
regions, were still affordable.
Karl, Patrick and a business
colleague started off their
enterprise in 1998 with a little
winery and their very first
Southern hemisphere wines.
Unfortunately a difference of
opinion arose with the partner
in 2000 and so in 2001 Karl
and Patrick started over again
building up a new vineyard
next to the Ruamahanga
River near Masterton.
Meanwhile in Germany,
customers were asking to
taste our New Zealand wines
and such was the demand
that just two years later we
presented our German
market with the first of our
New Zealand Pinot Noir. This
European export market has
developed substantially and
forms an important aspect of
our New Zealand operation. |
