Vineyard Sites

The vineyards we manage are all within walking distance of our homes. The green areas show the main blocks. The Village Square (with radiating streets forming the shape of a Union Jack) is just one kilometre from the Ata Rangi winery. Martinborough itself has a tiny population of 1,500 residents but with 20 boutique-winery cellar doors, a dozen or more cafes and not a single traffic light for 50 km in any direction, many more make it a weekend or holiday destination.

The yellow gravelly-looking line illustrates the edge of the Martinborough Terrace, a defined area which is typified by the deep gravel soils - a hangover from the big thaw of the ice age when flooding waters 'washed' through the stones. Centuries of earthquakes have since lifted the terrace well above the river beds.
