Uniting the best of the Wairau and Awatere Valleys
Established in 1989 and named after the Dashwood Pass which connects Marlborough’s main Wairau Valley to the smaller Awatere Valley, Dashwood crafts wines that are a pure, expressive reflection of these preeminent winegrowing regions. Fruit is sourced from estate and grower vineyards to showcase the best of each valley: the concentrated fruit of the cooler and smaller Awatere and the more expressive flavors of the wider Wairau.
Year in and year out Dashwood produces wines that are consistently balanced and vibrant and which over-deliver on Marlborough’s classic style: intense fruit flavors from the Wairau Valley, with the intrigue and complexity of the Awatere.
