(Tantalus Estate Vineyard, Waiheke Island, Auckland)
The new owners of Tantalus Estate Vineyard have gone to great lengths to transform their majestic old building into a welcoming masterpiece that will appeal to wine connoisseurs the world over.
The restoration project included a complete transformation and replacement of the bell tower and parapet detail which Accumen Shapes were asked to supply to exacting standards using a combination of ShapeCrete® and DecraShape®. Huge credit must go to Cheshire Architects for their attention to detail, Willie and the team at WG de Gruchy Construction for their installation skills and Mike May from Plastering.co.nz who used the impressive Rockcote system. A stunning result!
