The Wairau Valley is a sub-region within the wider Marlborough region at the northeastern tip of the South Island of New Zealand.
Terroir: Old, gravely riverbed soils, and diverse aspects and rainfall create numerous meso-climates within this sub-region [which] broadly covers a range of cooler, drier inland sites; barren stony, early-ripening sites; and sea-breeze moderated coastal sites (Source: New Zealand Winegrowers).
Wine style: Fruit intensity and body (Source: New Zealand Winegrowers).
