Auntsfield is the Marlborough's first and oldest winery and vineyard. This winery boasts a proud history dating back 165 years. Auntsfield Estate is nestled in the lower slopes of the southern hills of Marlborough's Wairau Valley and covers 100 hectares, planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyard planting has taken full advantage of the diverse soils and meso-climates by separating the land into numerous distinctive blocks or micro-vineyards. Each of these blocks has been planted with a carefully selected clone for each variety. Proprietors Luc and Ben Cowley are now in charge of viticulture and winemaking respectively. Already winners of numerous awards, Aunstfield is establishing an international reputaion for producing outstanding wines.
