<p>Known for hot summers and limited rainfall, New Zealand’s hilly valleys produce a range of wines including Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Sauvignon Blanc. Today, more than 75 wineries—mostly boutique and family-run operations—call the area home, including Haast.</p>
<h2>The History of Haast</h2>

<p>After living in the United Kingdom for many years, New Zealand couple Royce and Sue McKean returned home in 2004 and promptly fell in love with an 800-acre sheep farm in Waipara. The couple planted 160 acres of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris grapes, and partnered with winemaker Evan Ward to coax out their best flavors.</p> 
<h2>Benefits of Haast</h2>

<p>As an accredited member of the NZWG sustainable viticulture program, Haast embodies the indigenous Māori philosophy of Kaitiakitanga: guardianship, protection, and preservation of the planet.</p><br><ul>
