Puriri Hills is a small, privately owned estate winery on North Road in Clevedon, south of Auckland. It was established in 1996 and makes estate-bottled, blended red wines in the style of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, from its own 5.5 acres of vines on a 93-acre property. The wine is grown, made, bottled and stored on the estate. The owner and winemaker, Judy Fowler, makes the wines with her husband Phil, who heads the vineyard. The website names the wines Pope and Harmony de Soir among the estate's reds. The winery is open for visits and tastings by scheduled appointment, and it has a newsletter for vintage releases.
Customers call it a favourite New Zealand winery, and say the red wines are excellent. One visitor says the wines are both intellectually engaging and full of flavour, and praises the family-like team who look after visitors. One review quotes a 2020 ranking as the top winery in New Zealand, and another says the wines are premium Bordeaux-style reds. The estate's Clevedon position on the river and hill land gives it views north towards the Hauraki Gulf and east to the Hunua Ranges, which the website says the team never tires of.
