First established in 1985 by Robert Hill-Smith, Nautilus Estate has become a leader in driving quality Marlborough wine through experimentation and selection of the best sites and clones, and delivers an exciting collection of expressive, textural, beautifully crafted wines.

Allan Scott has been growing grapes in Marlborough for over 40 years and planted some of its first Sauvignon Blanc vines. The Allan Scott winery was established in 1990 and is a true family affair with Allen’s wife Cathy and their 3 adult children each playing an important role.

Single-minded Sauvignon Blanc, lovingly made by Nautilus Estate of Marlborough since1992. Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc is the essence of Marlborough: pure, fresh, classic kiwi wine that is unpretentious and inviting.

For the casual wine drinker who seeks adventure, excitement and knowledge, Ponga is a bold, expressive New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Acting as a beacon of adventure, much like the glowing underside of the Ponga fern used by natives to guide their path, Ponga offers a unique path to discovery of New Zealand’s wild side.

Established in 1993 by actor Sam Neill, Two Paddocks’ initial aim was to share ethereal Pinot Noir moments with loved ones. Sam is the only producer to own land in the three main valleys of Central Otago - Gibbston, Bannockburn (Cromwell Basin) and Alexandra. Two Paddocks Estate Pinot Noir is an assemblage of the four vineyards and is a barrel selection comprised of the older blocks with all vineyards being certified organic.

VINEYARD SOURCING

From vineyards across the region, with a high portion of growers in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. The goal is for a regional style that is noticeably Marlborough at an affordable price.

Specially selected sites (6 estate vineyards) across the three main subregions of Marlborough (Wairau, Awatere, Southern Valleys) give complexity and consistency.

Allan Scott vineyards are largely planted on the stony, free draining mid-Wairau Valley river flats. The vineyards are sustainably managed and the wines tend to be beautifully structured, with lighter aromatics than expected off the heavier clay soils of the lower Wairau plain.

From vineyards in the heart of the Wairau region of Marlborough - stony soils ensuring good draining and enjoy excellent ripening conditions for flavor-development in Sauvignon Blanc.
