Viticulture
The law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This requires those offering financial products to have disclosed information that is important for investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer if you are a person who comes within Schedule 1, clause 3(2)(a)-(c) or 3(3)(a)-(b)(ii) (inclusive) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. This includes where the amount invested upfront by the investor (plus any other investments the Investor has already made in the financial products) is $750,000 or more.
If you fall within Schedule 1, Clause 3 of the FMCA, as a result of this exclusion, you may not receive a complete and balanced set of information. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. Investments of this kind are not suitable for retail investors. Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.
Note: We urge you to carefully review the information Memorandum and additional attachments (if applicable) before lodging an application. In the event that there are any material changes to the Information Memorandum communications will be added to the attachments for review.
Awatere is an established Marlborough Vineyard delivering regular returns through a long-term grape supply agreement with Villa Maria.
The property itself has many appealing qualities and is 300 hectares in size with 127 canopy hectares of vineyard (110 cha Sauvignon Blanc and 17 cha Pinot Gris).
Under the current management and ownership there has been an intensive programme to remediate vineyard infrastructure, productivity and vine health after a period of neglect by the previous owner. This reinvestment has resulted in the vineyard being in an excellent state with good vine health and improved infrastructure aiding ease of management.
From an industry perspective, investment in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc vineyards is attractive, with the brand or appellation being world-renowned for its reliability to deliver a quality taste experience that can be matched with a variety of occasions for its consumption.
