Dry River
Martinborough | New Zealand
Dry River is considered New Zealand’s best
example of a cult winery. Located in the wine-producing region of
Martinborough, Dry River is a premium quality producer of some of
the country’s finest wines including its renowned Pinot Noir,
Chardonnay, Riesling and Gewurztraminer varieties. In 1979 Neil and
Dawn McCallum planted a vineyard a few kilometres from Dyerville in
a very dry and free-draining area now called the 'Martinborough
Terrace' and they took the name Dry River for the vineyard and wines
in what was to become another chapter of Martinborough's farming
history. Their dream was to produce individual, high quality
regional wines which faithfully reflect the 'terroir', vintage and
are suitable for cellaring.
