DISCOVER AN OCEAN OF FLAVOR
Guided by our founding philosophy of quality without compromise, our winemaking team shares a singular vision. Peter Jackson, our chief winemaker, leads the team to consistently craft premium wines from 100% Marlborough fruit in the classic Marlborough style. Sourcing from Awatere, Wairau and Southern Valley, we capture the full spectrum of fruit intensity in our refreshingly balanced New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Working with select vineyards from the Northeast corner of the Southern Island, allows us to choose only the finest grapes, picked at their peak ripeness to showcase the dynamic flavors and aromas of this awe-inspiring terroir.
AUTHENTICALLY MARLBOROUGH
In 2019, Whitehaven qualified for AMW (Appellation Marlborough Wine) Certification, signifying our dedication to sourcing grapes, producing and bottling within Marlborough while following strict sustainability guidelines. We're proud of this certification and carry the logo on our back label.
DISCOVER THE WORLD OF WHITEHAVEN
AWATERE VALLEY
Due to cool and windy conditions, grapes ripen slowly, providing riper green notes to the wine, such as gooseberries, black currant leaf and jalapeño.
WAIRAU VALLEY
Known for its free-draining soils, warm temperatures and extended growing season, Wairau Valley grapes impart exceptionally complex tropical and citrus fruit flavors.
SOUTHERN VALLEYS
Located on the southern slope of the Wairau Valley, this cool and dry region is known for producing wines with structure, texture and minerality.
