Clark Estate is a passionate, 100% New Zealand owned, family wine business that prides itself on innovation and quality, producing single vineyard wines from their 13 hectare block.
The journey began when Peter and Jane Clark made the decision to venture to Marlborough and plant a vineyard to live off the land, nearly 30 years ago. Over time the business has evolved to include most members of the family. Son, Simon, is now the family winemaker, creating wines of world class quality and his sister, Sarah, drives the sales and distribution division.
Clark Estate takes bold steps to stand out from the crowd and is not afraid to show what can be done. Whether it be cutting edge winemaking, dynamic packaging or market driven initiatives such as “own label” and Key-Keg to cater for the fast growing wine-on-tap market.
Clark Estate showcases the best of Marlborough wines with an emphasis on the Upper Awatere Valley. The portfolio includes Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio, Classic and Sparkling Riesling and Chardonnay.
Duck Hunter Wines is a fully owner-operated winery, personally run by co-owners Mark Wilson & Rosie McLean. The brand’s focus is to produce premium quality New Zealand wines that embrace and express the diversity of Marlborough’s growing regions. By utilizing select fruit from unique sites spread across the 3 sub-regions of Marlborough, we endeavour to craft wines that offer the quality and complexity to compete with top producers, while remaining very price competitve. Production has grown from 500 cases in 2012, when the brand was established, to over 30,000 cases in 2020. Currently exported to nine countries and widely available throughout New Zealand.
Duck Hunter’s flagship wine is our award-winning Sauvignon Blanc. The goal each year is to create a balanced classic Marlborough Sauv that is lively on the palate with rich fruit, complemented by a lingering fresh acidity. Each vintage is carefully blended with a focus on balancing the contrasts of the cooler/dryer Awatere Valley, known for its crisp acidity and herbaceous minerality, with the warmer/wetter Wairau Valley and Waihopai Valley, which contribute characteristics of citrus/lemon/peach. The result is a wine that is proudly 100% Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, as well as being 100% sustainably grown and produced.
Awarded 90+ points consecutively for the past five vintages by Wine Spectator.

Working in harmony with nature allows us to make the best wine. We do this in a way so future generations can continue this legacy.
