Esses Wine Company is a boutique grower-producer in Kaikōura dedicated exclusively to the production of traditional method sparkling wine. Situated beneath the dramatic Kaikōura ranges and influenced by the cooling effects of the Pacific Ocean, the estate benefits from a unique maritime climate that promotes slow ripening, natural acidity, and exceptional fruit purity. Working primarily with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Esses focuses on low yields, sustainable viticulture, and extended lees ageing to create sparkling wines of precision, complexity, and finesse. The wines combine vibrant freshness with depth and texture, reflecting both the distinctive character of the site and a patient, hands-on approach to winemaking. Produced in limited quantities and released only after significant bottle maturation, Esses offers a refined and increasingly acclaimed expression of New Zealand méthode traditionnelle.
