The Taleof
...open the next chapter!
Regional BlendsRegional blends are common and have long been a tradition in European wine making,
which has formed part of their wine culture for many years. Until recently New Zealand
has tended to concentrate and specialise on single varietal wines. However we are now
realising that many of the world’s most interesting wines are in fact regional blends.

Recognising this we believe the time is right for us to introduce Sherwood Estates Waipara Valley Regional blend ……Integro.
Integro represents the Waipara Valley and the four most common white varieties grown in the
valley. The resulting wine is a unique taste of the Waipara Valley and the area’s terroir which
includes - valley floor, hill slopes and river terraces.
The soil types comprise of - gravelly deposits on the flats and terraces in the central and west side of
the valley, limestone derived clays on hill sides and valley floor to the eastern side and gravelly loams
over alluvial subsoil in the southern part of the region.

The tale of Integro was initiated when Petter Evans joined Sherwood Estate over 10 years ago.
Dayne and Petter began their discussions about the idea of a Waipara blended wine to showcase the
region. The concept evolved and developed over a number of years until the time was right and Integro
was created. Integro symbolizes the intertwining of the finest grape varieties in the Waipara Valley and
reflects our integrity and passion for creating premium wine.
The Evolution of a Concept

The parcels of fruit are sourced from our four
vineyards in the heart of the Waipara Valley
region. Each vineyard has its own unique soils,
climate and idiosyncrasies giving Integro the best of
both worlds.
Our Glasnevin vineyard is a twenty three acre block
situated off State highway one. The soils consist of
gravelly sand which then changes to silt, gravel, stone
and sand.
The Georges Road vineyard is located on the south west
side of Waipara where these soils are very different to
the rest of Waipara. The fruit coming off this block
tends to be very aromatic and perfumed.
The Stirling vineyard is a thirty acre block situated in
central Waipara and is planted on two terraces.
The Terrace vineyard is planted on a gently sloping
north east facing slope on the west side of the Waipara
valley. The soil is rich with silt and clay.
