Passage Rock Wines

Passage Rock Wines was established in 1994 by David and Veronkia Evans-Gander. This boutique winery is set in the tranquil Te Matuku valley on sunny Waiheke Island near Auckland.

David and Veronika's aim is to work with the seasons the sites and the people involved in their operation produce ripe, full bodied red wines made of Cabenet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah grapes.

The white styles have pronounced fruit flavours. These including an unoaked Chardonnay and a barrel fermented Chardonnay. The philosophy is to consistently make premium wines through careful observation and selection throughout the whole grape growing and wine making process. A strong desire to work sustainably means the Swiss integrated wine production methods are followed in the vineyard.

Passage Rock has received numerous medals and awards since its debut, with Michael Cooper rating it as “A Rising Star” of the Waiheke Wineries
