Bilancia was established in Hawke's Bay in 1997 by winemakers Lorraine Leheny and Warren Gibson. The name is Italian for balance and is also the zodiac sign Libra, which both founders were born under.
The home vineyard, la collina, is a 6-hectare terraced hillside on Roys Hill, planted from 1998. The focus is Syrah and Chardonnay, along with a white field blend called Uvaggio, with more fruit from single vineyards around Hawke's Bay such as Trelinnoe, Kaikora and Two Terraces.
