Single-vineyard wines, grown where great days begin.
Estate Vintners grows its own fruit on 40 acres of stony Marlborough soil — cool nights, long sunshine, and a winemaker who has been at it since the first vintage.

Current-release wines
Every bottle is estate-grown, hand-picked and rested in oak or tank until it is exactly where we want it. Tasting notes are our own — we think that is the honest kind.
Riverbed SB
Pungent gooseberry and cut grass, a flinty spine and a long, dry finish. The one that put us on the map.
Stony Ridge PN
Ripe cherry and a savoury, forest-floor depth. Fine tannins from cool-climate fruit.
Barrel House Chardonnay
White peach and citrus over a subtle toasted oak. Creamy, not heavy.
It starts with the dirt.
Our vines sit on free-draining, stony alluvial soil laid down by the Wairau River. Hot summer days and dramatic Marlborough nights build the bright acidity and pure fruit you taste in every bottle. We farm low and by hand.
Planted ourselves in 1998; no purchased fruit, ever.
Cover crops, minimal spray, solar for the winery.
Picked in small lots at first light for true ripeness.
Half our wine never leaves the estate.
