John found himself able to experiment with different methods, as well as creating new mixtures of grapes and other fruit into wonderful tasting wine. Not only was this hobby fun, John would be the first commercial winery on the Island; and so began Rossignol Winery.

His son, Paul Gotthard, continued farming and winemaking and planted more vines to increase wine production. Upon his father's death in 1914, third-generation Paul Alfred took over the property and as demand for fortified wines grew, winemaking assumed greater significance.

The wines created here are some of the very best from New Zealand. Winemaker Kim Crawford grew up on a farm in the Waikato region of New Zealand’s North Island . The Waikato is a fertile stretch of country but it’s not one of New Zealand’s great grape-growing areas. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find many vineyards in it’s rolling green meadowlands, which are much more celebrated for their dairy products than their wine.Kim left the farm to study Microbiology and Botany at Massey University. He graduated with a B.Sc. in 1983 and, like many a new graduate, found himself wondering how to make use of his education in carving-out an interesting career. It was at this point that one of Kim’s lecturers came up with the inspired suggestion that he take a look at New Zealand’s infant wine industry. The rest, as they say, is history.

The name Dry River carries an historical significance as the name of one of the earliest Wairarapa sheep stations (ca. 1877). This was later sold off in 1906 by the Seddon government and renamed Dyerville, leaving the renamed Waihora River (circa 1900) and the renamed Dyerville Rd (1994) - both after Dry River - as the only reminders of this part of our pastoral farming history. In 1979 Neil and Dawn McCallum planted a vineyard a few kilometres from Dyerville in a very dry and free-draining area now called the 'Martinborough Terrace' and they took the name Dry River for the vineyard and wines in what was to become another chapter of Martinborough's farming history. Their dream was to produce individual, high quality regional wines which faithfully reflect the 'terroir', vintage and are suitable for cellaring.

The soils are well drained, stony and loose – perfect for the vine cuttings he would plant.

Our wines also have a distinguished place in the national wine production especially in a variety called Mencias, cultivated in the Northwest. of Spain.
