Early European colonists began to establish agricultural plantations on the fertile soil of the valley. In today's Southern River Valley, David Herd established the first vineyard in Marburg, and in 1873 built the first underground wine cellar in Marburg. The next 100 years, Marburg was forgotten by the New Zealand wine community. It wasn't until New Zealand's wine giant Montana (now controlled by Pernod Ricard) decided to enter Marlborough in 1973, which opened a new chapter in modern wine history.

Marlborough wine characteristics

Sauvignon Blanc is the most famous grape variety in the region, producing very unique wines with a distinctive style. The wine has a fresh flavor, often with aromas of grass and other herbs. It is suitable for drinking when young, and can be used with salads and seafood.

Marburg climate

To the west of Marlborough is a mountain, with excellent grape growing conditions, sufficient light, low rainfall, and relatively cool temperatures, which means that the grapes can mature slowly and retain their flavor to the maximum extent.

Marlborough soil

The soil of most vineyards in the production area has medium to low fertility, contains more stone and sandy loam, and the surface layer is coarse gravel that is easy to drain. These low-fertility, easy-to-drain thin layers of soil can reduce the vigor of the vine and help produce luscious, aromatic mature wines.
