Marlborough

Marlborough, the heart of New Zealand's wine production, spans approximately 24,000 hectares and is renowned for its outstanding Sauvignon Blanc wines. This region, located in the northeast of the South Island, is characterized by a unique climate with warm days and cool nights. Gentle hills and river valleys such as the Wairau and Awatere Valleys shape the landscape. Marlborough's soils range from well-drained gravel and alluvial soils to clay and sand, which support a variety of grape varieties. In addition to Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling also thrive here. The wines from this region are distinguished by intense aromas, vibrant acidity, and remarkable freshness. Marlborough produces around 300,000 tons of grapes annually, significantly contributing to New Zealand's total wine production. The region has established itself internationally as one of the top wine-growing areas and is particularly known for the quality and consistency of its wines. Above all, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is globally recognized for its expressive bouquet of tropical fruits, citrus notes, and fresh herbs.
