Watere Valley

Watere Valley

Welcome to the Awatere Valley, New Zealand's coolest and wildest wine region! Located south of the famous Wairau Valley in Marlborough, where harsh coastal winds from the Pacific sweep through barren valleys, this is where wines are produced that will surprise you with their intensity and minerality.

The Awatere Valley is rugged, cooler, and windier than its more famous neighbor – and that's precisely what makes the difference! The Sauvignon Blancs from here are even more concentrated, mineral, and boast an impressive freshness. Instead of lush fruit, herbal notes, flint, and a salty minerality reminiscent of the nearby ocean dominate.

The barren, stony soils and the cool climate force the vines to struggle – resulting in small yields with maximum concentration. Pinot Noir also thrives here, producing elegant, spicy red wines with a fine structure.
