Dawn and Neil McCallum had been looking for a quality site since 1979, it became clear that Martinborough was the place. Beginning in 1986, the wines of Martinborough were given a seal of origin. Authentification is administered through Martinborough Terrace Appellation of Origin System. A mere 600 plantable hectares in size, the special soils are comprised almost completely of free draining gravels with the same meagre rainfall, aspects and temperatures, unique and homogenous from a viticultural point of view.

About Dry River Winery

Dawn and Neil McCallum had been looking for a site for a quality vineyard as early as 1979 and it was clear that Martinborough was the place to investigate. According to friend and soil scientist Dr Derek Milne, a founding partner of Martinborough Vineyard, the virtue of this locality was its 30-year record of the lowest rainfall in the North Island and a heat summation appropriate for growing quality cool-climate varieties such as Pinot noir, Riesling and etc. The crescent-shaped area lay along the edge of the river terrace formed by the Ruamahunga and Huangarua rivers about 20,000 years ago. From the available data, the low rainfall area was limited to a tiny locality roughly 5 km in radius, and a study of soil maps revealed that the deep, free-draining gravels they sought within this were restricted to an even smaller part.
