Welcome to Rimu Grove's international e-Cellar Door

Rimu Grove Winery is committed to producing only the finest quality wines which reflect the terroir of the Nelson Moutere winegrowing region. 
Owner and winemaker Patrick Stowe’s background is heavily influenced by science and tradition, having spent years in medical research as well as growing up in the Napa Valley with ancestral vineyards dating back five generations.
The Rimu Grove philosophy starts with an uncompromising attitude that sees meticulous management of both the vineyard and wines. Now in its 22nd year, that philosophy has never wavered. The vineyard is all painstakingly managed by hand and this attention to detail produces grapes with a fine balance of varietal flavours, textures and aromas. The fruit and wines are handled with the utmost care to retain and accentuate those delicate characteristics.
Rimu Grove seeks to create wines of elegance, length and finesse.

Reviews

2019 Rimu Grove Pinot Noir Review  

Gavin Hubble Grape-To-Glass.com, Aug 2025
5-stars

 “On the nose vibrant mixed cherry aromas, with wild brambles, mushrooms and dried herb nuances. The smooth palate celebrating ripe cherry and plum flavours supported by balanced fruit acidity, fine grained tannins and a graceful dry finish."

2019 Rimu Grove Pinot Gris Review

Sam Kim’s Wine Orbit, August 2020
5-stars, 94 points

“It has a gorgeous ripe bouquet of baked pear, honeydew melon and fig with a touch of spicy complexity. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and succulent fruit intensity combined with fleshy texture and refreshing acidity, making it delicious and hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2024.”

2020 Rimu Grove Chardonnay Review

Gavin Hubble Grape-To-Glass.com, Aug 2025          5-stars

“An inviting nose with white peaches, roasted almond, vanilla cream and biscotti aromas. These carry through to the engaging palate with its layered elegant textures and concentrated scrumptious flavours, and a lingering classic dry finish."
