From Vine to Wine

– HANDMADE AT THE VINEYARDS IN MARTINBOROUGH

At Murdoch James Estate we do believe “the wine is made on the vine”. By carefully nurturing and giving the right attention to the grapes prior to harvest, we seek to capture the unique terroir in the wines.

Nurturing the vines; handpicking the grapes

Murdoch James Estate’s meticulous team of viticulturists nurture low-yielding vines by hand, and all grapes are hand-picked. Before processing fruit is sorted, ensuring that only the best goes through to the winery.

Small batch pressing for quality

Grapes are pressed in small batches using our old generation press (circa 1960). Having recently been carefully refurbished, this press enables us to slowly and gently press excellent quality juice.

Gently guiding the winemaking process

Our dedicated winemakers are non-intrusive – although nothing is left to chance. All practices are hands-on, fermentation size is limited, and all clones are fermented separately, thus preserving the depth, complexity and character of each wine style produced.

Ensuring consistency and quality – the old-fashioned way

Before each wine is bottled, everyone partakes in assemblage. By tasting wines from each and every barrel, we ensure that only the best barrels go through to the blend of our premium wines. This ensures the consistency and quality of our wine.
