Our Marlborough Vineyards
Three Trophy Properties
At Marisco our passion for winemaking is deeply rooted in the diverse terroirs of New Zealand's renowned Marlborough wine region. With three distinct vineyards under our stewardship, we've embarked on an extraordinary journey to craft exceptional wines that reflect the unique characteristics of each site. Our commitment to quality and innovation is matched only by our reverence for the land. Join us in exploring the diverse flavours and stories that make Marisco wines truly exceptional.
Waihopai River Vineyard
Our first vineyard, the one that laid the foundation for Marisco Vineyards, lies on the flats of the Waihopai Riverbank.
The exceptional diversity across the one site made it a great place to start. It consists of three terraces formed by glacial movement over thousands of years. Each terrace has varying soils, which gives us a real diversity of flavours. This vineyard is planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and small blocks of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Viognier.
Leefield Station Vineyard
A historic beef & sheep station, Leefield lies in the southern, upper reaches of the Waihopai Valley.
The last of our vineyards to be developed, Leefield Station is a unique 2,200 ha property with 650ha dedicated to vineyard while the majority continues to operate as a livestock farm. This glacial valley, filled with mineral-rich soil and beautiful rolling foothills, is primarily planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The Slopes Vineyard
As its name indicates, this vineyard spreads over a number of slopes.
The slopes lie on the hills overlooking the Brancott Valley. This 75ha vineyard offers dazzling complexity - from riverbeds all the way to slopes facing an array of different orientations.
