Escarpment
Martinborough, New Zealand
Escarpment is a Martinborough cellar-door for drinkers who want the region’s Pinot Noir argument made through soil rather than spectacle.

Martinborough Vineyard
Martinborough, New Zealand
Martinborough Vineyard belongs to the origin story of Pinot Noir in Martinborough, with plantings dating to 1980 and mature vines on the Martinborough Terrace.

Kusuda Wines
Martinborough, New Zealand
Kusuda Wines is a small Martinborough producer built around Pinot Noir, Riesling and Syrah rather than cellar-door theatre. Its reputation rests on Hiroyuki Kusuda’s exacting fruit selection, a 2001 start in New Zealand, and a collector audience that has followed the wines well beyond the Wairarapa.

Palliser Estate
Martinborough, New Zealand
Palliser Estate gives Martinborough’s Pinot Noir and Chardonnay tradition a polished cellar-door expression: estate vineyards, a seasonal kitchen, and a hospitality format that treats wine and food as the same conversation. The draw is terroir rather than theatre, with organic and sustainable cues, a Cuisine-hatted kitchen, and a Decanter Platinum 97-point signal for Single Vineyard Hua Nui 2024.
