Marlborough Red Wine
With ideal geology, geography, and growing conditions for cooler-climate reds, Marlborough's reputation for world-class pinot noir and syrah continues to grow deservedly. Clayvin Vineyards exemplifies this, crafting wines of remarkable structure, concentration, minerality, and ageability. Alongside powerful, intense, peppery syrahs and elegant, earthy, red-berried pinots, Marlborough's red wine landscape thrives. Notably, the Esk Valley pinot noir from Awatere and Wairau Valley fruit offers an inspiring further exploration into Marlborough red wine.
