Martinborough Wines

Most of the 30 or so Martinborough wineries grow Pinot Noir, and many successfully diversified into Syrah, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. Dry River, for example produces New Zealand’s finest examples of most of those varieties from Martinborough grapes. Pinot Noir is less dominant around Masterton, instead growers concentrate more on Viognier, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
