Esk Valley
Esk Valley winery is situated in the north of New Zealand’s picturesque Hawkes Bay region. The winery sources fruit from the the major wine-regions of New Zealand, including Marlborough and the Gimblett Gravels, which consistently produce grapes of an extremely high quality. Esk Valley is a boutique winery, but it is unique in that many of the techniques used to craft its award-winning wines are dictated by the winery itself. The old concrete vats, the layout of the buildings, and the absence of modern technology mean the team at Esk Valley makes wine in a simple, honest, hands-on way.

Marlborough
Marlborough, arguably New Zealand's most famous wine region, is located on the north-eastern tip of the South Island. Representing 70 percent of the country's total vineyard area, Marlborough boasts the greatest area and the largest volume of wine production in New Zealand. Despite its size, Marlborough is a young region, and the first grapes were planted in 1973. By 1980 it was clear that the distinctive, vibrant intensity of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc was to be the calling card from which Marlborough would sell itself to the world. The fertile soils of Marlborough are perfect for growing grapes and the combination of sunny, dry days, and cool nights provide a long growing season, helping build the natural sugar and acidity which contribute to their lively flavours. Marlborough's main regions are the broad Wairau Valley and the slightly cooler Awatere Valley. The region may have built its reputation on Sauvignon Blanc, but is also highly regarded for richly-fruited Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.

Sauvignon Blanc
Originating in Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc has now established itself in many of the world‘s wine regions, producing a crisp, dry, and refreshing white varietal wine with a distinct flavour profile. The most well-known examples come from Sancerre and Pouilly Fume in the Loire Valley, and from Marlborough in New Zealand where a grassy, herbaceous style is produced. In Bordeaux it is blended with Semillon to make the sweet wines of Sauternes, and crisp dry wines that can be as excellent as they are expensive.
