Welcome to
Clark Estate
Clark Estate is a true family wine company that believes strongly in honest family values, outstanding quality and prompt service.
The journey began for Peter and Jane Clark back in 1998 when they made the decision to venture to Marlborough, plant a vineyard and live off the land. More than 20 years later their children Sarah and Simon have joined Clark Estate and our wines are now exported and enjoyed all over the world.

2022 Clark Estate “Upper Awatere” Sauvignon Blanc
$24.002022 Clark Estate “Upper Awatere” Sauvignon Blanc
$24.00[pmcs]
The Upper Awatere is known for its rugged soils, unforgiving climate and stunning Sauvignon Blanc flavours.
Strong winds, scorching daytime temperatures, and cool clear nights contribute to the development of the amazing flavours found in Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
Our single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is crafted by this terroir, creating wines that are pristine, refined and well balanced, with a strong sense of place.
The 2020 Upper Awatere Sauvignon Blanc is delightfully aromatic with lifted notes of cool climate stone fruits, blackcurrant bud and gooseberries filling the glass.

2020 Clark Estate “Black Birch” Pinot Gris
$23.002020 Clark Estate “Black Birch” Pinot Gris
$23.00The Black Birch is a pristine alpine stream which feeds clean mountain waters into the main Awatere River. The Black Birch range also directs cooler winds down onto the vines during the autumn months, slowing the ripening process just enough to ripen the Pinot Gris fruit to perfection.
Our Pinot Gris has a delicate richness and power driven by the low cropping and fully ripened grapes hanging from the vines that have been nourished by the Black Birch waters.
The 2020 Black Birch Pinot Gris is delicate yet powerful. There is an abundance of quince and ripe pear aromas with full body weight and a creamy texture, laced with gingernut and bread yeast characters. All held together with beautifully fine acidity.

2020 Clark Estate “Rosato” Pinot Grigio
$18.002020 Clark Estate “Rosato” Pinot Grigio
$18.00Climate conditions high in the Awatere Valley can often resemble that of the hills around Veneto, Italy. Hot days and cool dry nights with fresh sea breezes blowing off the Pacific Ocean help to ripen the fruit slowly, perfect conditions for the Italian style of Pinot Grigio. Made in the same dry and fruit driven style, the Clark Estate Rosato Pinot Grigio is well structured with a good amount of body and a hint of pink.

2018 Clark Estate “Classic” Riesling
$23.002018 Clark Estate “Classic” Riesling
$23.00The 2018 Classic Riesling has a beautiful aroma of white blossom, citrus and cut apple. The palate is full and structured thanks to the chalky minerality. There is a sense of the flavours lingering for longer than expected making this Riesling immensely enjoyable and distinctive.

Our News
The Clark Estate difference? It's in our 'terroir'.
Terroir is the characteristic taste and flavour imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced. In our family vineyard high up in Marlborough's southern Awatere Valley, the climate, soil and topography brings a unique terroir to our wines that our customers love.
Cheers to that 🧡🥂

Back home after the great trip.
Working on our new website really made us stop and think about what makes Clark Estate different? We came up with several answers to that question (and you can read more about it on our website www.clarkestate.com/), but the first and most important for us is that after 25 years Clark Estate is still family owned and operated.
Peter and Jane who started it all in the late 1990s still spend time in the vineyard and are busy behind the scenes. Their son Simon is the viticulturalist and winemaker, while daughter Sarah looks after sales and marketing. Together, they know the land and their wines inside out and will go the extra mile to create vibrant, powerful and authentic wines for happy customers.
Cheers to that 🧡🥂

Congratulations Peter & Jane for going on your own 'Wine Tour" 25 years ago. Leaving familiar, secure employment takes courage & fortitude. Congratulations to Simon & Sarah for doing like wise, as your combined skills have certainly attributed to the success of the family business. Long may you continue.
Awesome‼️
"Respectfully, our wine is created in partnership with nature. The part we play is to connect, understand, envision and make possible the potential each harvest brings."
