Miro Vineyard

Bond Estate is in the Onetangi winegrowing region and comprises the 4.2 hectare Miro Vineyard and the outstanding Tapas restaurant called Casita Miro. Miro is the closest vineyard to Onetangi Beach, a summer playground for holiday makers. Views from the vineyard are spectacular, looking out over the vines, the village and the sea. Grapes in the region ripen to a rare succulent intensity in the hot summer sun. The mineral rich soil provides the vines with flavour-enhancing elements. Red wines grow best here, but pinot gris and chardonnay also produce excellent wines . Drink them with some of the fantastic tapas-style food served at the Vineyard Tapas restaurant (Casita Miro). The Vineyard is managed on near-organic principles and the wines are pure and residue free. Miro Vineyard practises sustainable viticulture. We have created a new wetland on the vineyard which is now home to ducks and native birds. The vineyard is very steep with 80% north facing slopes. When you visit you will likely meet the vineyard dog. He is called Coke who will adore you if you throw him a stick. Near harvest time, he chases birds away from the grapes. – Description from markomkc    (hide)
