Shed 530 Estate opens in Hawke’s Bay

The Premium Liquor Co. has launched its latest venture with the opening of Shed 530 Estate – a winery, vineyard and cellar door in Hawke’s Bay.

Previously Moana Park Estate, Shed 530 Estate produces its own signature Shed 530 label from grapes grown in small, estate-operated vineyards across Hawke’s Bay, with its own boutique Chardonnay made on-site.

The new winery is helmed by Chief Winemaker Kel Dixon, who takes over from winemaker John Hancock. A Hawke’s Bay local, Dixon’s winemaking experience has seen him produce over 30 vintages across Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough, Canterbury and in the south of France.

Dixon says he’s excited to take up the new role. “I’m thrilled to use all my years of experience in winemaking to support a winery with a real vision for the future in a region I’m passionate about.”

The estate is nestled in the Dartmoor Valley and overlooks an historic woolshed and established vines that date back 30 years.

Shed 530 Estate’s cellar door offers its own wine selection as well as boutique gin options, cocktails and local beers alongside a range of small plates and platters using locally sourced ingredients, such as cheeses from Hohepa Dairy and Origin Earth
