Wineries in Martinborough

Elegant, beautiful wines. Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Rose & Extra virgin Olive Oil. Martinborough, Aotearoa New Zealand. Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Rose made from Pinot Noir grapes. Stony soils from an old Martinborough river terrace set the scene. A very gentle north facing slope catches the sunshine. Winds create complexity you can taste in the wine. Add in meticulous hands-on care of the vines and the olive grove. The result is intense flavours that sing of the place that the wine and olive oil is grown.

Escarpment, defined as a long, steep slope that lies at the end of a plateau, is our unique place within Martinborough. Big open skies stretch across the Wairarapa, 'glistening waters' in te reo Maori, and the ancient alluvial soils run deep beneath the land. There is natural balance here. At Escarpment Winery, our purpose is to translate that balance into wines that reflect these special attributes, this special part of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Each vintage at Dry River is a celebration of nature's generosity. We make wines of uncompromising quality, converting the land's bounty into experiences you can taste.

Pond Paddock is a family-owned boutique vineyard.

Searching for the perfect Terroir and conditions for viticulture, especially for Pinot Noir, Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling, both being graduates of the German Viticulture and Oenology University in Geisenheim, travelled the world. Their voyage took them to wine regions in France & Germany, Oregon & California, South America and Australia. In New Zealand their quest finally ended and they settled in Martinborough in the Wairarapa Valley founding Schubert Wines; a unique place producing low yields in the vineyards with excellent quality grapes resulting in internationally award winning wines with intense and complex character which are exported to 43 countries.
