Grow with confidence.
For more than 45 years we have supplied top-quality, certified and tested grafted grapevines to New Zealand winegrowers.
Ormond Nurseries is a family-owned business specialising in propagating grafted grape plants. Since 1977 we have built a reputation for our quality grapevines that are true to type, fully traceable and certified. We 100% test all our scionwood for Grapevine Leafroll Virus 3. We don’t guess, we test - every vine, every time.
We supply vines across the country from our base in Marlborough. We graft to order, and we recommend that you order your plants well in advance to avoid disappointment.
New and NotableWater Management
How we manage water during establishment can have a lasting impact on how a grapevine develops, including its ability to cope with water stress in the years ahead.
The goal isn’t simply to keep young vines growing. Thoughtful irrigation management can encourage roots to explore a greater volume of soil, helping build stronger, more resilient vine for future.
This short video is a good reminder that the decisions we make in those early stages matter.
HI-STEM Planting
One of the questions we’re often asked is whether HI-STEM® vines can be machine planted, so we took the opportunity to capture some footage of the process. HI-STEM vines not only save you time to the wire and ongoing operational costs in the vineyard, but they can be machine planted just like a standard – height vine, making them easy to incorporate into an existing planting programme.
Exploring Chardonnay Clones
We’ve developed a new series of Chardonnay Clone Fact Sheets, designed to provide growers and winemakers with a clear, easy-to-read overview of each selection - from origin and phenology through to yield, growth habit, disease susceptibility and wine style.
Alongside the trusted, industry-standard Clone 95, the series highlights several newer and more distinctive selections available through ONL, including FPS 107, FPS 80, ONL® Mendoza and ONL® Monte. The fact sheets provide a useful way to consider how each compares with the familiar characteristics of Clone 95, and where different clones may offer something valuable for a particular site, growing objective or wine style.
We understand the wine industry and the people that dedicate their lives to it.Ormond Nurseries operates our own award-winning vineyards, giving our staff an understanding and empathy for grower issues. We strive for:
