The team at domaine pays particular attention to vineyard management, favoring environmentally friendly practices. Each plot is cultivated with care, in order to optimize the quality of the grapes and preserve the richness of the terroir.

Owner and history

The escarpment, this long, steep slope bordering a plateau, is our unique terroir in Martinborough. Vast expanses of sky stretch across the Wairarapa, and ancient alluvial soils plunge deep into the earth. Here, a natural balance reigns. At Domaine Escarpment, our ambition is to translate this balance into wines that reflect these exceptional assets, this very special terroir of Aotearoa, New Zealand. For 35 years, we have been crafting expressive wines from Martinborough's Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris. Shaped by winemaker Tim Bourne and winemaker Rowan Hoskins from grapes sourced exclusively from Martinborough vineyards, grown on legendary alluvial soils, these wines are distinguished by their structure, complexity, and fruity expression, reflecting their unique terroirs and the regional identity of Martinborough.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Escarpment is a meticulous process, designed to preserve the integrity of the fruit and reveal the terroir's potential. The grapes are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and vinified in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation takes place under temperature control to preserve the delicate aromas of the Pinot Noir. Aging, the duration and containers of which are not disclosed, helps to refine the tannins and add complexity to the aromas. Each step is carried out with precision and passion, with the aim of creating an exceptional wine that reflects its origin.
