Mangaorapa Estate is 48km south east of Waipukurau, mid way between the main wine growing regions of Hawkes Bay and the Wairarapa.
The red boundary line shows the 105ha of argilite terrace grape growing land. The existing 17ha vineyard is sited at the western end of the block.
The outer yellow line shows the boundary of the Mangaorapa Station pastoral land relative to the grape growing block when the vineyard was first planted.
The east coast Pacific Ocean is visible in the top of the picture. Porangahau Beach and the township of Porangahau is approximately ten kilometres away.
This grape block and a further 100 ha block of pasture and native bush was retained by the Mouats as 'Mangaorapa Estate' after the sale of the Mangaorapa Station pastoral operation in 2005.
