Wine Region

The Marlborough region of New Zealand is world-renowned for its Sauvignon Blanc.  Marlborough sits on the northeastern tip of New Zealand’s South Island and accounts for over 70% of the country’s wine production. Its cool maritime climate, long sunshine hours, and diverse alluvial soils make it ideal for growing Sauvignon Blanc. The region’s wines are known for their intense aromatics, high acidity, and expressive fruit flavours. Marlborough is divided into three subregions — Wairau Valley, Awatere Valley, and Southern Valleys — each adding nuance and complexity.

Featherdrop captures the hallmark Marlborough style: zesty, herbaceous and full of tropical energy and embodies the very best of Marlborough’s unique terroir and winemaking expertise.
