Why we chose to plant here is critical to our story. Meaning “Sea Breeze” in Maori, the vineyard is nestled between the bluffs of Blind River, just a couple of miles north of the saltpans, close to the sea in the South East corner of Marlborough’s winemaking region. To discover more about Blind River and the Awatere Valley and what makes this place so different Our vineyard is jointly owned by the Marblehead, MA and NZ branches of the family. Simon and Vanessa live here in one of the driest, windiest and most disease resistant spots in Marlborough, with two dogs and two horses. |
