ABOUT OUR COMPANY

Where Tradition Meets Technology

At Ponderosa Vineyard, the art of winemaking is elevated through innovation. Guided by the seasoned expertise of Dr. Hitesh and Rekha Kothari, our vineyard marries the idyllic lifestyle of viticulture with groundbreaking technology. Our roots run deep in the fertile soils of New Zealand, a land renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir, and our approach is forged in the precision of modern techniques.

​

We're not just growers; we're pioneers. By integrating advanced drone imagery, we ensure each vine is nurtured to its fullest potential, reflecting our commitment to both quality and sustainability. The Kothari's leadership has transformed Ponderosa into a beacon of progress in the wine industry, all while preserving the intimacy and integrity of a family-run estate.

Each bottle from our single vineyard captures the essence of our land and the vision of our founders. Ponderosa isn't just a name—it's a promise of excellence, a celebration of heritage, and a toast to the future.

​

Indulge in the taste of Ponderosa (currently made by Rupara Springs), where every sip is a journey through a well-tended legacy, led by the spirit of discovery.
