Lake Road is a multi-generational, family-owned winery run by the Blampied family. Their involvement in viticulture and winemaking dates back to the first vines planted in 1975, and today, 3rd generation brothers Steven and Andrew Blampied lead the vineyard, winemaking, and sales operations. Based on New Zealand’s easternmost edge, Lake Road’s vineyards are located across New Zealand, with some among the first in the world to see the sun each day. The abundant sunlight and coastal climate encourage early ripening, producing grapes with a rich tropical fruit, vibrant aromatics and exceptional flavour.
