OUR FRIENDS

One of the reasons we have been able to restore Dancing Water to a boutique style wine experience is due to the hard work and collaboration with other extremely talented local winemakers, now friends, in North Canterbury. Thank you for helping take us to the next level.

SCOTT HOLLAND

Vineyard Manager

Whatever the circumstance over the past three years Scott’s energy has been unshakeable. Even though it looked as if Covid-19 may cause our Chardonnay grapes to die on the vine, Scott and a friend handpicked for us during lock-down saving our beautiful 2020 Chardonnay.

PAUL

Our tractor driver

MICHELLE REID

Artist

Michelle Reid has added to our inspiration for our 2020 vintage. Her work ‘Glint’, from the 'Atmospheric Disquiet' series, probes the intangible, qualities that engage us when we come upon an illuminating atmosphere or experience.

Michelle explored visual expressions symbolic of emotions and thoughts, taking cues from Besant's 'thought forms'. Besant observed ethereal things such as ‘idea-pictures’ in abstract drawings at the turn of the twentieth century.

NEW ZEALAND BUSINESS HALL OF FAME

We are very honoured to be selected to share our wine at the next 2021 Business Hall of Fame Gala Dinner. We hope these outstanding New Zealanders, who have contributed so much, will enjoy our efforts.
