“In Marlborough’s Wairau Valley most vineyard rows run perpendicular to the old braided riverbed deposits. At the northern end of the Woolshed Vineyard slight humps and hollows often lead to differing canopy densities, producing great depth and diverse flavours in the fruit”.
– NEV GANE
The Woolshed vineyard is situated west of Blenheim in the shelter of a steep sided triangular hill called the 'Delta'. This feature protects the vineyard from the frosts in spring and the different aspects of the slope produce fruit which makes for exciting blending options. Named after the original Woolshed building which is now our vineyard office and trade hosting facility, fruit from this vineyard goes into our Single Vineyard Woolshed Sauvignon Blanc, Single Vineyard Dambuster Pinot Noir and our Mud House Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The 360 vineyard is 100% Pinot Gris. As the name suggests, it offers spectacular views around the region from its location at the very top of the Delta.
