Marlborough

Ballochdale, Awatere Valley

Elevation 300 metres. 28.35 Ha.

On an isolated peninsula of land, surrounded by deep ravines and covered with native bush, a lot of love and labour went into transforming what was once a sheep farm into a vineyard 300 metres above sea level. This high altitude, combines with a sheltered location, isolation, a northerly aspect and the evenness and suitability of soils to produce wines of identity and intensity. The site includes 30ha. of native bush which is now a conservation area closed to grazing.

The space is soul food for winemakers and visitors alike. And in a world that increasingly makes decisions based on commodities and volume, it is heartening to have a vineyard that is there for the love of good wine and practices.

Planted Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc (MS), and Pinot Noir (cl.5, cl.667 and 115)

Soil type: Clay Loam

Vine age: 23 years
