Askerne is a single estate winery situated in the winegrowing region
of Hawke's Bay, New Zealand . We are committed to producing elegant
fine wines that reflect our unique site and our winemaking philosophy
and passion.
The Askerne vineyard and winery was developed by John and Kathryn
Loughlin in 1993. Initially purchased as 28 acres of bare river
terraces, the property has been expanded to 50 acres which are being
progressively planted.
We aspire to produce wines which complement food but are vibrant and exciting when standing alone.
Askerne is named after an old Yorkshire Spa town which was the birth
place of Kathryn Loughlin. The trees on the label are a representation
of the gum trees, which are a major feature of the winery site.
