GROVE MILL in Marlborough has earned a reputation for producing wines that capture the full intensity and character identified with New Zealand’s largest and best-known wine region. Established in 1988 by a group of local growers, Grove Mill remains a privately-owned company with 290 shareholders.

Led by enologist David Pearce, Grove Mill’s winemaking team works with a core group of growers to source the finest fruit from vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau and Waihopai valleys. David, regarded as one of New Zealand’s pioneering enologists, has been with Grove Mill since inception and has played a decisive role in developing its critically acclaimed style. Rich, concentrated aromas and flavors balanced by fresh, lively acidity are apparent in each Grove Mill wine.

Grove mill is committed to making award winning premium quality wines with minimal environmental impact. In 1999 the winery launched a rehabilitation program for neighboring wetland, home to the protected Southern Bell Frog that adorns the Grove Mill label. More recently the winery has achieved several environmental accreditations most notably the CarboNZero certification. By ensuring there is no net carbon dioxide gain arising from production and shipment of their wine, Grove Mill is working to counteract the harmful trend of climate change. This continuous improvement through increased energy efficiency underscores Grove Mill’s commitment to the environment through the preservation and regeneration of native landscapes.
