​Marlborough

New Zealand’s largest wine region, Marlborough offers generous sunshine, cool nights, low autumn rainfalls, long ripening periods and free draining alluvial soils. These elements have contributed to creating a geographically diverse, world renown viticulture region that allows Steve Bird to take the best grapes and guide them gently through the winery in a way that allows the natural beauty of their varieties to shine. 
In the incredibly, picturesque Omaka Valley on a hillside site lies a modest but perfectly sized home for the Steve Bird family-run winery.  This hidden, sun-drenched gem is where Steve’s Pinot Noir is produced, crafted in 1000L French oak fudres.  Its premium location offers the earthy, spicy and deep flavours of his award-winning wine. 

'Kei puta te Wairau' – 'The place with the hole in the cloud'.  In the heart of Wairau Valley, lies Steve’s stony, alluvial site that produces fruits for his 2016 Sauvignon Blanc.  The valley’s warm, dry climate and uncommon diversifying soil profiles has put New Zealand and Steve on the map for its award-winning and beloved Sauvignon Blanc.
