After 40 years of helping others make wine, she was ready to start producing wine under her own label. Authentic wines, nurtured by Jenny, with a sense of place, surprise and adventure.

After years of being a travelling winemaker, she returned home in 2020 to Marlborough, NZ, and fell in love with the Wrekin Vineyard. Years later, she continues to craft distinct single-vineyard, single-varietal wines that truly represent time and place.
