At Alpha Domus our philosophy is to produce premium wines from Hawke's Bay, fully representative of their terroir. Our aim is to bring all the qualities of our unique vineyard terroir through into the wine. To this end our winemaking philosophy is one of minimal intervention. Naturally well balanced these distinctive wines from Hawke's Bay display good varietal characters and are powerful without forsaking the qualities that make a wine enjoyable right through to the last drop. The emphasis is on fruit definition, mid-palate fullness, subtlety, complexity and elegance ensuring that the wines will age gracefully; a hallmark of Alpha Domus. No manual labour is spared in the production of premium quality grapes. This attention to detail in every growth stage means that bud, shoot thinning and positioning, bunch thinning and second set removal are just some of the passes made in the vineyard annually. Alpha Domus vineyard and winery are accredited members of Sustainable Wine Growing New Zealand, an environmentally conscious group dedicated to ensuring an industry standard for sustainable winegrowing.
