Winery Story

Dry River Vineyard was established in 1979 for the production of individual, high-quality regional wines that faithfully reflect the "terroi... (more...)r" and the vintage from which they come. The name Dry River was originally held by a historical Martinborough sheep station (circa 1877) near what was initially called the Waihora River. The winery is located in what is now called the "Martinborough Terrace," a gravelly, free-draining area within the lowest rainfall zone in the North Island.
