Waihopai Valley isn’t the sort of place you stumble across.
At Spy Valley Wines, we believe it’s the flavour of the place.
In the middle of Aotearoa (New Zealand), at the tip of the South Island, is a place of remarkable natural beauty. The spectacular, diverse landscape of Marlborough assails the senses with its vivid seasonal colours, kissed by the sun year-round.
Imagine a land so outrageously beautiful, a land flanked by the soaring Southern Alps and the stunning Marlborough Sounds, an extensive network of coastal waterways, peninsulas and islands nestled in the shimmering ocean.
Follow your nose along the Wairau basin’s long green valley, dry hills and alluvial plains, and you have arrived at the heart of the Marlborough wine region.
To this, add hot sunny days and cool nights, a climate which caused Maori to call the area ‘the place with the hole in the cloud’. The result of this unique climate and topography? Vines ripening in the sun like nowhere else on earth. A synergy so good you can almost taste it; the flavours of Marlborough spilling over into our wine.
Marlborough - the heart of New Zealand's wine industry
This is our home.
One of Aotearoa’s sunniest regions. Maximum sunshine, minimum rainfall, free draining soil and freedom from seasonal frosts (for the most part). Māori refer to the region as “Kei puta te Wairau’ / The place with the hole in the cloud”.
Protective mountains provide relief from extreme rain and wind. The sunshine, moderate temperatures and strong diurnal variation are the keys to Marlborough’s piercing fruit intensity, strong varietal expression, and acid retention over long ripening periods.
