Escarpment Winery

www.escarpment.co.nz
59 Todd Road
Martinborough, NZ

We met the men
behind the scenes
who showed us
what Escarpment means.
The land & the fermentation
are the basis for their creation.

Allie Merrick

the viticulturist

See the guy in the  middle?
The one in the bright green.
His name is Dave Shepherd; he's the viticulturist.
If anyone knows more about Escapment's vineyard
and the vines that live there, I don't know who it is.
Dave understands the soul of this soil
and how to cultivate it properly.

the winemaker

See the guy climbing the barrels?
The one pulling a sample of wine.
His name is Huw Kinch; he's the winemaker.
If anyone knows more about what's going on
in the barrels, I don't know who it is.
Huw works with Larry McKenna
(Vineyard Director & Winemaker)
to shape the wine from the vineyard to the bottle.

the wine

To the right is a shot of the vineyard
where the coveted KUPE bottling comes from.
Regal on the palate
& well remembered on the finish,
this wine represents the top echelon
of Escarpment's line.
Mind you, the entire lineup is fabulous.
