Mike Paterson is continuing a proud farming tradition in his family, which goes right back to his great grandfather, Marcus Joseph Paterson, who emigrated from Corofin Co. Clare in 1927.

The family’s long-held respect for the land is the secret sauce behind the deliciousness of his wines. 

The 2023 Meltwater Sauvignon is one for the ages. Especially compared to everyone else.

Think the bright tropical fruit of New Zealand, with the texture and complexity of a great Sancerre.

Originally ordered for my daughter's wedding in 2021 and loved it then. Punches above its weight. Go to for Christmas Day.
