Whitehaven, Marlborough 02 Dec 2008

Marlborough, the heartland of New Zealand winemaking is one of the world's most iconic grape growing regions.

A special place where a bright, but relatively cool climate slowly ripens the grapes to an intense flavour.

The founders of Whitehaven were one of the earliest to recognise Marlborough's potential, and in 1994 set out to create a wine label of true integrity - creating wines that would encapsulate the very essence of the landscape.

While Whitehaven has grown well beyond the original expectations of its founders, the managment, winemaking, and viticultural team remain small and focused, working in an environment where their talents can be combined to produce elegant wines with distinctive regional character.

Acutely aware that great wine depends upon premium grapes, Whitehaven hand selects vineyards from across Marlborough.  The exceptional quality of the grapes delivered by it's loyal growers each vintage, coupled with the passionate commitment of the winemakers, ensures that Whitehaven consistently produce outstanding world class and award winning wines.
