Delta Estate focuses on hand crafting wines that are expressive and true to their vineyard roots. Our wines are elegant, modern and restrained, highlighting characteristics from the vineyard’s terroir with minimal wine making influence. We aim to provide consumers with exceptional wines that are expressive, distinct and true to the terroir.

Delta Estate was founded in 2000 by three prominent wine industry veterans and good mates, who had spent evenings drinking wine and discussing the potential for exceptional and unique Pinot Noir in Marlborough. Using their collective extensive viticulture and winemaking expertise, they found a site that was ideal for growing high quality Pinot Noir in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. This became the founding Delta vineyard, planted with high quality Dijon Pinot Noir clones. As other vineyard sites were identified for their unique characteristics, Delta has grown to incorporate other grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Understanding that different grape varieties perform best in different soil types and microclimates, the Delta Estate philosophy is to produce wines that give a real expression of the terroir on which they are grown.
