At the heart of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley lies the original Ribbonwood Block. Located
just north of the Renwick township on Conders Bend Road, the 15 year old vines are planted
on an unusual east-west direction, the resulting shade on the south side of each row produces
more herbaceous fruit than other sites in Marlborough. The fruit from this vineyard, and
that from carefully selected sites nearby, is essential for producing the expressive aromatic
and vibrant fruit flavour components for which Ribbonwood wine has become known.

We planted our first Ribbonwood,
New Zealand's tallest native deciduous tree, beside our winery back in 1998. Like our wines, these trees are of strong Marlborough character and unique to New Zealand.

The trees | The New Zealand
Lowland Ribbonwood (Plagianthus betulinus) has attractive flowers and is often found
on riverbanks and at the edge of native forests. Over the last ten years we have planted in
excess of 1,000 native shrubs and trees to enhance both our winery wastewater treatment processes
and the biodiversity of our vineyard. More recently, we designed the Ribbonwood packaging
to embrace light-weight bottles and recycled cartons, further reducing our carbon footprint.
Since vintage 2009 we have been accredited for achieving 100% environmentally sustainable
vineyard and winery practices.
