In the sun-drenched valleys of New Zealand's South Island, Auntsfield stands as a beacon of both history and innovation. As Marlborough's first established vineyard, Auntsfield's roots run deep, dating back to the 1870s when pioneering settlers first recognised the land's incredible potential for winegrowing. Today, the estate remains proudly family-owned, combining rich heritage with a progressive approach to producing some of the region's most expressive wines.
The secret to Auntsfield's success lies in its unique terroir. Set on ancient greywacke rock and layered with clay soils, the vineyard benefits from low-yielding vines, cool nights, and long sunshine hours - conditions that allow grapes to ripen slowly and develop extraordinary concentration and complexity. Every bottle from Auntsfield is a reflection of this landscape: pure, vibrant, and unmistakably Marlborough.
Beyond the vineyard, Auntsfield is driven by meticulous craftsmanship and a hands-on philosophy. From sustainable viticulture to traditional winemaking techniques, the focus is always on capturing authenticity and character. The result is a collection of wines that not only honour the past but continue to set the standard for excellence in New Zealand wine.
