Brennan
The Brennan family’s New Zealand story began in 1877, arriving from Ireland aboard the SS Otaki. Sean Brennan’s father, Dr. Sir Murray Brennan, was born in Auckland and studied at Otago, always drawn to the rugged beauty of Central Otago. The family first bought land in the region in the 1970s, and in 1994, they established their vineyard in Gibbston—among the area’s pioneers. With some of the first vines in the valley, they’ve never looked back, building a legacy rooted in history, passion, and a deep connection to the land.
