Ormond Nurseries has operated for over 40 years, specialising in propagating top quality, grafted grape plants that are true to type, fully traceable (budwood and rootstock) and regularly tested for Leaf Roll Virus.
Ormond Nurseries produces premium grapevines certified to the NZ Winegrowers Grafted Grapevine Standard (Version 4.0 June 2021). There are also non-certified vines available for sale. For further information about the NZWG GGS see our page which explains it all HERE.
The company also operates its own (award winning) vineyards, giving our staff an understanding and empathy for grower issues. As a lead supplier of certified, grafted grapevines, we offer a range of dormant bare root and containerised vines specifically designed to add value to vineyard projects. Ormond Nurseries is the oldest family-run grapevine propagation company in New Zealand.
Many Marlborough vineyards are now looking at a redevelopment programme, either to replace existing vineyard with a high level of trunk disease, change varieties (usually from something else to Sauvignon Blanc) or else to reduce row spacing or increase vine density to increase yield per hectare.
