Yealands Estate Single Vineyard wines are the truest expression of our coastal location, showcasing our unique environment and diversity of flavours across this singularly incredible vineyard.

Winemaker's notes
Individual parcels of Pinot Gris were harvested over a five day period. The fruit was de-stemmed and pressed gently and cold settled for 48 hours. The clear juice was then racked to a mixture of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels. Each parcel was fermented separately using a range of selected yeasts to enhance varietal characters.
Following fermentation, the barrel portion was lees stirred for 6 months to add further complexity and texture to the wine. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Vineyard
Seaview
Our Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is exposed to some of the toughest growing conditions in Marlborough; high sunshine and wind, cool nights and low rainfall which produces a smaller, thicker skinned berry with intense fruit avours. The cool site regularly commences harvest up to one week later than other sub regions. All three of these aromatic varieties sit on sheltered, north facing slopes. The soil is predominantly windblown loess.
Leave the land better than we found it
Sustainability
At Yealands, we aim to leave the land better than we found it. We achieve this through a wide range of initiatives and on-going projects including developing wetlands, making our own special compost and using natural pest control measures in our vineyard.
