Many of you may recognize the larger than life character Etienne Moly, and his wife Aurelia. For many years Etienne was resident in Auckland, where he made many friends.

Etienne has always been incredibly passionate about wine, not just any wine but good wine, and anyone who has spent even a little time with him will have been a recipient of his unlimited generosity and goodwill.

In 2020 Etienne followed his passion back to France and while working for iconic Loire producer Romain Guiberteau, found a beautiful property with some old vines.

This is the culmination of his dream, and he and Aurelia are incredibly proud of what they are now producing. Beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs, that reflect their terroir, their personality and their amazing work ethic and passion.

A rising star of Saumur!
