Acclaim
“Bright and fruity nose of red cherries, raspberries, currants, sweet licorice and dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity and very fine tannins. Fleshy and wild with fresh-herb character.”
— James Suckling, Nov 2022

Wine Production

Planted in 2002, Attorney Vineyard is situated in the Southern Valleys subregion of Marlborough on a north facing block on the dry eastern foothills of the Wairau Valley. This sub-region receives minimal rainfall in the growing season and its deep clay soils provide perfect conditions to apply organic farming principles.
