Spy Valley is a small, single-vineyard
estate located in Marlborough, New Zealand's premier wine growing region.
Marlborough is an agricultural area with diverse, fertile soils, and more
sunshine hours than any other region of New Zealand.
Eight varieties of grapes over 360 acres producing premium quality fruit for Spy
Valley Wines. Spy Valley is a colloquial name for Marlborough’s Waihopai Valley,
derived from the presence of a satellite communications monitoring base. Our
fertile, free draining stony soils result from successive flood events and
glacial outwash deposits over the previous 10,000 years.
