Mitre’s Edge is set in a privileged location where mountain influence meets a temperate climate, creating ideal conditions for premium wine production. The estate is family-owned and managed, with Bernard and Lola Nicholls taking over the farm in 1999 from Lola’s father, Martin Hunting, who had farmed the land since 1969. Guided by Lola’s passion for Bordeaux-style wines, the vineyards were replanted with carefully selected clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, alongside Shiraz. To complement the red wines, Chenin Blanc and Viognier were also planted, allowing the estate to offer a balanced and thoughtful range.
