TerraVin Wines

General information

The TerraVin estate covers a total of 39 ha at three densely planted sites across the Southern Valleys of Marlborough. A sustainable farming approach is complemented by some bio-dynamic practices, tailored to the needs of each vineyard.

All of the grapes are hand-harvested to preserve fruit condition and ensure gentle treatment. The Sauvignon Blanc is then wholebunch pressed to give a more textural style and the Pinot Noir is mostly de-stemmed before undergoing fermentation with gentle ‘pigeage’.

Winemaking is judicious with indigenous yeasts allowed to take the lead and fruit expression front of mind. Sulphur use is deliberately minimal. The Estate wines are ready for bottling one year after vintage while the Reserve parcels are given time to evolve and integrate before being bottled, usually between 18 to 24 months after vintage.
