Well established, family owned

- MARTINBOROUGH VINEYARD & WINERY

“Over 40 years ago as a student, I worked on a vineyard during school vacations and an obsession was born. I wanted to tend grapes, craft fine wines and share them with wine lovers around the world. My wife Jill came to share the vision which took 20 years to become a reality when in 1986, we took a bag of Pinot Noir and Syrah cuttings and planted our first vines by hand.

While we chose Martinborough because it was already established as New Zealand’s premium Pinot Noir region, we planted Syrah because of our love of the wine. In fact the Syrah we planted that year was the very first planting of the variety in Martinborough.

At the urging of our son Carl, we named the vineyard in memory of my father, Murdoch James Fraser, who had died at a young age, but who had left us with two memories; the importance of family, and integrity in all one does. For us, making good wine is about doing a lot of little things very well.”
