Winery | The grapes are carefully selected from several vineyards in Marlborough. Marlborough is a dry, sunny viticultural region situated at the northeastern tip of the South Island, New Zealand. It stretches along the Pacific Coast and consists of two parallel valleys, the Wairau and the Awatere. The vines grow in mixed alluvial soils, which are geologically young and have been distributed along the valley's floors by the Wairau and Awatere rivers. Ideal for viticulture, these alluvial soils have good drainage and low fertility, so the vine is forced to deepen its roots for hydration and nutrients, resulting in berries that are concentrated in flavour. |
