Fairleigh Vineyard

This vineyard block has been home to the Marris family for many years. It lies on New Renwick Road, just east of Blenheim.

The 14.3ha vineyard was substantially replanted in 1998 – largely in Sauvignon Blanc, with about a fifth of it devoted to Chardonnay.
The rich alluvial soils here are typical of the Wairau Valley vineyards that gave rise to Marlborough’s great reputation as winegrowing region.
