our viticulture service is driven by near twenty years of experience applying alternative methods. our approach aims to provide landowners and winegrowers with the support they want to grow great wine. in brief the near twenty years of wine growing  began after studying organic growing in Christchurch, a friends introduction encouraged Jared to go support the planting of a Cornish point vineyard in Central Otago, this experience set off a dream introduction to growing pinot noir which lead Jared to burn cottage vineyard where he spent a little over ten years managing the establishment of this model biodynamic vineyard. since moving home to Christchurch Jared has enjoyed expanding his viticultural experience by working with various vineyards  in North Canterbury, Central Otago and Marlborough.
