Martinborough Vineyard was established in 1980 by a small partnership with the objective of producing world class cool climate wines from classical grape varieties.
As one of the four founding sites in the region we are located on the Terrace Appellation of Martinborough in the South East of New Zealand's North Island.
Our flagship wine is Pinot Noir with the portfolio also including Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc & Riesling.
The appellation has freedraining soils and experiences cool climate conditions with long summers and low rainfall, comparable with Burgundy.
Vines aged up to 26 years, a diversity of clones and emphasis on balance in the vineyard all contribute to the complexity and structure of Martinborough Vineyards wines.
Our philosophy is "Handcrafted Excellence in Wine" and over the years we are proud to have stayed small, consistent and quality driven. We actively promote sustainability, using organic means where possible, to limit impact on the environment and for the future of the industry in New Zealand. The winery and vineyard's environmental management systems are ISO 14001 accredited.
Our journey has seen us produce outstanding wines, become a pioneer a Pinot Noir in New Zealand and one of the most prestigious winemakers in the New World. Some of our trophies include: best Pinot Noir - NZ, Australia, Singapore best Pinot Noir worldwide - UK best red wine in the sky in the world - US best wine of the show, Australia, Singapore |
