Spy Valley
Marlborough | New Zealand
Spy Valley is a small, single-vineyard estate
located in Marlborough, New Zealand's premier wine growing region.
Marlborough is an agricultural area with diverse, fertile soils, and
more sunshine hours than any other region of New Zealand. Situated
on the sunny southern side of Marlborough's Wairau Valley, nestled
on the terraces of the Omaka River are the vineyards of Johnson
Estate. Spy Valley is a colloquial name for Marlborough’s Waihopai
Valley, derived from the presence of a satellite communications
monitoring base. The fertile, free draining stony soils result from
successive flood events and glacial outwash deposits over the
previous 10,000 years. At Spy Valley, viticultural excellence
creates wines that capture the essence of the environment and are
classically Marlborough. Owning all their own vineyards ensures
total control of the winemaking process, true single vineyard estate
production. All wines are estate grown and bottled.
