One of New Zealand's early wineries, Landmark Estate was founded in 1937 by Steve Vitasovich, an immigrant from Croatia, who arrived in Auckland late in the 1920s.

Tucked away in the gentle foothills of the dramatic Waitakere Ranges is the family owned winery with a big reputation, producing brand labels of quality wines "Earls" (Premium Reserves) Landmark Estate, Albatross Point, Glen Hills, (Fortified Wines) and Southridge.

Grapes not only come from their Henderson and Kumeu properties, but also from some of the leading vineyards of the Gisborne and Hawkes Bay regions.
