What excites you most about Marlborough right now?
Marlborough is evolving, with many following a genuine artisanal approach and celebration of the diversity the region can offer, such as with pinot noir – a growing and healthy category we’re embracing. The local craft beer scene is thriving and we’re better served than ever before with clever chefs showcasing our outstanding local produce in venues such as Arbour and
Scotch Wine Bar.
What do you believe sets your winery apart?
Our Sound of White vineyard sits on clay loam in the Waihopai Valley. It lends a richness and density to our wines – a refined variation on the distinctive style Marlborough is known for. This couples well with our willingness to experiment. Since our pioneering days in the region, we’ve built nuance and texture into our wines while still ensuring they reflect the fruit of the season.
