Bouldevines Wine

Bouldevines Estate Vineyard is in the viticulture heartland of Marlborough, New Zealand’s largest wine-producing region. Located in heritage Dog Point Road on the lower Omaka River Flats, an area hand-picked by Marlborough’s early grape growers. The estate was originally run as a sheep and cropping farm by the family and during the late 1970’s the planting of grapes was seen as an exciting new challenge. Bouldevines name originates from the characters of the vineyard property, being boulders and vines, and is owned by Philip and Janey Walsh, who are amongst the original grape growing pioneers of the region. Stretching across 31ha of the boulder-strewn flats of the lower Omaka River Flats, its fertile, free-draining soils are an ideal medium for growing grapes. Add to that the legendary warm days and cool nights of Marlborough, shelter from cold, easterly winds the absence of fierce winter frosts and Bouldevines Estate is clearly where premium wines are born. Up until recently the fruit from the vineyard has been sought after by other wineries, and now as an extension of the passion of Philip and Janey we reserve the finest grapes for our own distinctive wines and Bouldevines Estate Vineyard in Marlborough now brings its wines to the world’s cellar shelves. Philip’s vast farming and viticultural experience, together with the unique climate and soils of the location of the vineyard, teamed with our winemaker, Andrew Ellis, all contribute to achieving our goals. – Description from markomkc    (hide)
