Family-owned Marlborough winery Every glass, grown by us
Family-owned, estate-grown from some of Marlborough's oldest vines. Visit our tasting room and meet our wines at home.
Shop our Marlborough wines
Start with the Sauvignon Blanc that made Marlborough famous, then discover the Pinot Noir at the heart of our vineyards. Explore our Chardonnay, Riesling, Rosé and Library Wines, all grown on our own land, from the Homestead vineyard on Jacksons Road to the Waihopai Valley.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir
Five Pinot Noirs, running from the earlier-drinking Homestead through the Somerset and Gum Emperor single vineyards to the Vintage Widow, each one released ready to drink.
Shop Pinot Noir →Five Pinot Noirs, from fresh to aged.
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc
Three Sauvignon Blancs: Stich, the wild-fermented Somerset single vineyard, and the barrel-fermented Grey Ghost. The Somerset is made only in some years, and the Grey Ghost is aged in bottle before it's released.
Shop Sauvignon Blanc →Three styles, from Stich to the barrel-fermented Grey Ghost.
Chardonnay
Chardonnay
Grown on our Homestead Vineyard and named after the shelter belt of trees that protects it, the Shelter Belt is hand-picked and wild fermented in French oak. Citrus, apple, and white stone fruit meet minerality, with fresh acidity and a long finish.
Shop Chardonnay →The Shelter Belt, a single-vineyard Chardonnay fermented in French oak.
Riesling
Riesling
The Homestead Riesling comes from vines about 35 years old on a very stony part of our original vineyard, and it's all apricot, elderflower, and crisp apple. Made only in exceptional years, the Botrytis Riesling is a dessert wine of marmalade and honeycomb, beautiful with ginger cake and blue cheese.
Shop Riesling →Two Rieslings that reward keeping, including a dessert wine.
Rosé
Rosé
The Alayna Pinot Rosé is dry and elegant, made entirely from Pinot Noir grown on clay in our Southern Valleys vineyards. White florals, melon, pink grapefruit, and a touch of strawberry lead to a crisp finish, just right for easy drinking on a warm day.
Shop Rosé →The Alayna, a dry Pinot Noir rosé for warm days.

About Jackson Estate
As modern pioneers, we've spent over 30 years quietly getting on with hand crafting beautiful wines with elegance, finesse and longevity. Adam Jackson bought the land in 1855, the Grey Ghost gum on our label was planted in 1867, and the first vines went into the Homestead Vineyard in 1990. The Benton family has owned the estate since 2013, and we remain 100 percent kiwi-owned.
Join our wine club
The Benton Wine Club, which we share with our sister winery, Pask, brings you six bottles a quarter chosen by Matt Patterson-Green, our Head Winemaker. Members get first tastes of new releases, along with library wines that aren't available to the public.
