What if Marlborough wine was more than Sauvignon Blanc?

What if its true strength lay hidden—waiting to be unearthed?
For years, we've wandered from Europe to Oceania, learning that the most resilient wines—and people—thrive through diversity.
Now rooted in Marlborough, we find ourselves in the kingdom of fantastic Sauvignon Blanc. But beneath the surface lies untapped promise: sun for Viognier, cool nights for Grüner and ocean breezes for Albariño, soils ready for something different.
At Brave Roots, we're unearthing the hidden diversity of Marlborough.
We call ourselves Brave Roots for a reason.
Because the vines here dare to dig deeper, seeking water and life in unexpected places.
Because local growers dare to plant beyond the profitable norm.
And because we, as winemakers, dare to step away from convention to pursue complexity, beauty, and truth.
But the final act of bravery belongs to you—the wine drinker.
To choose the unknown bottle.
To taste something unfamiliar.
To discover joy outside the algorithm of popularity.
This is our philosophy:
Deep roots. Brave choices. Wines that matter.
