Harvest 2022

by Naomi Galvin on 24/03/2022

2022 is shaping up to be an excellent harvest in Marlborough at this early stage.

As of writing this on the 24th March, all our chardonnay and rosé grapes are harvested and safely tucked away at The Wine Studio. Both, are looking fantastic – pure with lovely acidity.

Pinot noir is coming off nicely, especially blocks that ripened slightly later and missed February’s rains.

We are starting sauvignon blanc this week and while crops look to be slightly above average, the intensity of flavour and aromatics this year will be very good, due to great fertility in the vineyards and late summer rains.

Fingers crossed the weather plays its part for the next 3 weeks!

Brookby Hill Goes Organic

by Naomi Galvin on 27/03/2020

Two Rivers Brookby Hill Vineyard, in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough, has begun its transition into organics.

After embarking on BioGro NZ organic conversion in 2020, no synthetic chemical fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides are used in the vineyard.

Vineyard Manager Richard Hunter is hugely passionate about organic farming and is super excited to drive the seven hectare vineyard throughout the three year conversion process.

Founder and Winemaker David Clouston affectionately refers to Brookby Hill as “Our home vineyard. The soil type is windblown loess over clay and the entire site is high density planted. The micro-climate is unique with the northern aspect and steep slopes enabling us to ripen varieties not always achieved in Marlborough. It’s our grand cru vineyard so it deserves to be treated with the upmost care.”

Marketing Manager Naomi Galvin says “Brookby Hill is a stunning vineyard and like every vineyard, it is part of an ecosystem. We want to bring the vineyard back to life and we’re doing this by going organic and by planting native plants to increase biodiversity. Brookby Hill already produces such amazing wines and it doesn’t need much outside input to express itself. We want the vineyard to tell its story in an authentic way so going organic was a natural progression for us. Organics is the future, it’s the future of New Zealand winegrowing.”
