I choose to live and work in Marlborough because I believe the grapes here are the best in the world. The powerful varietal expression is profoundly driven by terroir. From the Wairau and Awatere Valleys down to the limestone-rich Southern Coast, Marlborough’s diverse terroir broadens my palette as a winemaker to craft complex and individual wines. I use all my skills and experience to style wines with elegance and balance that capture the intensity and brightness of our fruit.— Simon Waghorn, Winemaker
