Marlborough's southern valleys are recognised for their unique wines and those from the Fairhall Downs Estate enjoy international recognition.

Located at the upper end of the Brancott Valley, which has its highest points to the south and faces the main Wairau Valley in the north, the vineyard basks in all-day sun.

Wither silt loam soil over clay gravels allow for free-draining. The soils combined with the area's low annual rainfal create optimum growing conditions for grapes. When harvested, those grapes produce some of New Zealand's finest wines.

Meticulous attention is paid to the cultivation of the grape varieties on the Fairhall Downs Estate elevated, 32ha vineyard. Knowing that sustainable viticulture and skilled wine-making methods are paramount for the best Marlborough wines, the family-run company sets itself strict procedures. These include restricted cropping practices and careful pruning, trimming and leaf plucking methods, ensuring premium vintages of its sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot gris varietals are consistently produced.
