From Pinot Noir to Sauvignon Blanc, discover the intensity of the wild coast-grown wines of Marlborough, New Zealand.
Wines of Marlborough New Zealand,
from the coastal Awatere Valley
At MWE, we pride ourselves on producing some of New Zealand’s finest Awatere Valley (Marlborough) Sauvignon Blancs.
Our winemaking team is a duo of two leading New Zealand Winemakers, Anna Remond and Jeff Clarke. A winemaker for 15 years for one of New Zealand’s largest wineries, Anna headed up the white wine-making program and worked vintages in the French regions of Sancerre and Burgundy.
To date, we have won several international wine awards and 90+ scores for our OTU Estate range of Sauvignon Blanc including:
MWE owns and operates 5 vineyard blocks within the OTU Estate, comprising over 336 hectares located in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough.
Planting commenced in the year 2000 for the five vineyard blocks, set alongside the ancient Otuwhero River and the untamed coastline of the Pacific Ocean.
Each block possesses clear defining flavour characteristics from the rolling, sea-swept and highly terraced terrain. These majestic coastal blocks are exposed to the wild weather from the Pacific Ocean which de-vigour the vines resulting in small intensely flavoured berries- that deliver unrivalled intensity and purity to our Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Within the OTU estate, 160 Acres are fully planted, predominantly with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, with the balance to be developed over the coming years.
