| TOM STEVENSON: “Cloudy Bay may come close, but no one makes a more vivacious & vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, year in year out, than Jackson Estate.” Jackson Estate embodies the very best of Marlborough New Zealand, the essence of Sauvignon Blanc. Jackson Estate is a special place, a testament to the vision and determination of the Stichbury & Jackson families who have farmed the land on the Wairau River plain at Jacksons Road for more than 160 years. Since planting their pioneering vineyards three decades ago, time, tide and fortune have smiled on Jackson Estate, and the unparalleled affinity between Marlborough and fine wine has been spectacularly realized. The acclaim Jackson Estate generates is based entirely on the merit of their mature, cool climate vineyards. |

The acclaim Jackson Estate Sauvignon Blanc generates is based entirely on the merit of our mature, cool climate vineyards.

| Pinot Noir |
| Their Pinot Noir vineyard's soil profile is predominantly clay based with greater water holding capacity, negating the need for irrigation outside of crucial physiological phases of the growing season.
The sites soil profile, new clonal material and temperature extremes (has an even greater diurnal fluctuation than the Wairau Valley floor) are the major contributors to a new benchmark for quality and style for Jackson Estate Pinot Noir. |
