Wairau Valley is a named wine subregion within Marlborough. Riverbed gravels, changing exposures and coastal influences create several vineyard settings rather than one uniform growing area. Sauvignon Blanc is an inviting first choice; Chardonnay and Riesling offer white contrasts. A specific vineyard and producer help place the wine more precisely within the wider Marlborough GI.
