A Legacy Rooted in Marlborough
Tiraki’s story began on Longfield Farm, purchased by the Hammond family in 1870, where six generations have worked the land. What started as a traditional farming property evolved into a vineyard in 1999, cultivating some of Marlborough’s most celebrated varieties—Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Founded in 2020, Tiraki—meaning “clearing of the sky” in Māori—honours both the distinctive Marlborough climate and the Hammond family’s Ngāi Tahu Māori heritage, which has been deeply intertwined with the land for over 150 years. Rooted in the rolling landscapes of the Southern Valleys, Longfield Farm has transformed from a multi-generational farming operation into a premier single-vineyard winery.
Led by winemaker Josh Hammond, alongside his siblings Tyler and EllaRose and their parents Lynne and Rob, Tiraki is dedicated to crafting elegant, expressive wines that showcase the purity, vibrancy, and depth of Marlborough’s terroir. Every bottle reflects the family’s meticulous care—blending traditional wisdom with modern innovation to create wines of exceptional quality.
As New Zealand’s first B Corp-certified wine brand, with a score of 102.5, Tiraki is committed to sustainability, ethical business practices, and giving back. Their vineyards are undergoing organic conversion, they use eco-friendly packaging, and they donate 2% of their revenue annually to biodiversity initiatives that protect native ecosystems.
Tiraki is more than a winery—it’s a reflection of family, heritage, and a deep respect for the land.
