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.

$29.12We have created the perfect wine to bring sparkle to any event. This Méthode Traditionelle Riesling is unique and also ideal for the summer festive season with its fresh and pure Riesling characters shining through. This wine tastes dry due to the lovely fine acidity that all great Rieslings possess.

2022 Clark Estate “Rosato” Pinot Grigio
$18.202022 Clark Estate “Rosato” Pinot Grigio
$18.20Climate 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.

2023 Clark Estate “Black Birch” Pinot Gris
$23.662023 Clark Estate “Black Birch” Pinot Gris
$23.66The 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.

$23.662019 Clark Estate “Classic” (Dry) Riesling

With the restaurant cellar stocked, the next Long Island stop was Long Island Wine Merchants, one of our early US retail supporters.
It was a pleasure to see our Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling on shelf and taste them together, sharing a little slice of the Awatere Valley with their team and customers on the other side of the world.

After Wine Paris, Sarah headed stateside – and timed things perfectly on Long Island. While visiting a soon‑to‑open restaurant, the delivery truck rolled in with their very first shipment of our Upper Awatere Sauvignon Blanc, ready to be poured for New York diners as soon as the doors open.
Proud to see Clark Estate sitting alongside some fantastic wines in their restaurant!
