Escarpment Vineyard

                       Welcome

The Escarpment Vineyard, Martinborough, New Zealand promises some of the very best of tomorrow's definitive New World Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay.

With respected winemaker Larry McKenna applying his distinctive skill to what he does best - making premium wine - the result is some of New Zealand's most layered, flavoursome and complex wines.

When it comes to its flagship wine, the Pinot Noir, Escarpment promises rewarding adventure into exciting new territory - as is the New Zealand approach to this renowned varietal of wine.

"For me, wine making is all about persistence and vigilance, coupled with a deep seated passion for making supreme wine.

Of course you also need a seriously good dose of patience and humour (!). That's the starting point."

"Then you need the creative elements - the sense of adventure, the intuitive approach, the thirst to progress and perfect."

"Wine makers are alchemists in every sense of the word."
