Dry River vineyard was established in 1979 by Dr Neil and Dawn McCallum. With vines planted on the northern boundary of the Martinborough township, Dry River aptly describes the very arid, gravely and free-draining site. They produce wines of optimal phenolic ripeness that truly reflect the site and vineyard. Ben McNab, appointed Dry River winemaker in November 2022, is looking forward to building on its reputation as one of New Zealand’s most iconic pioneering wineries.
