Whitehaven Wines and Cellar Door is the realisation of the White family's vision to create quality, award-winning wine, and a critically acclaimed and respected winery. Whitehaven's distinctive anchor insignia, is the reminder of Sue and Greg White's initial vision to create exceptional wine. After sailing the Pacific, Sue and Greg, with their young daughter, dropped anchor in the Marlborough Sounds, and started the new journey of making their vision a reality. A small and dedicated team of thirteen core people make up the Whitehaven family, with Susan White, after the death of her husband in 2007, stepping up to lead the family business. Today, Whitehaven wine is enjoyed all over the world, sold into eleven global markets, as well as domestically in New Zealand. Find Whitehaven (and the distributors) in:

Monica from New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦, wanted to share a special moment from her cross-Canada adventure.

“We took a side road off the beaten path and brought a bottle of Whitehaven with us to Purgatory Glacier in British Columbia. 🏔️🍷
We are enjoying the scenery, and having a glass of your wine. Life is good.”

Thanks Monica, from the Whitehaven team, NZ ❤️

Marlborough, meet Chicago.

Our Sauvignon Blanc has swapped the Marlborough Sounds for Lake Michigan - sailing past Chicago’s iconic Navy Pier and bringing a little taste of New Zealand with it.

From a sailing journey that inspired Whitehaven’s beginnings in 1994, to a Whitehaven-branded yacht cruising the Chicago waterfront. Here’s to taking Marlborough to the world!

Protecting a unique part of Marlborough.

At our regeneration site, The Springs, the creeks that run through the property are an important part of the wider ecosystem. Sitting along the Wairau Fault Line, groundwater rises to create a network of wetlands found nowhere else in New Zealand.

We're working to protect and restore these riparian areas by planting native species along the waterways - helping reduce erosion, improve water quality and create habitat for native biodiversity.

And we're already seeing signs of progress. Freshwater crayfish numbers have increased, while environmental DNA testing is helping us better understand the life within the waterways and across the property.

It’s ongoing work, and a step towards a healthier, more connected ecosystem.

Spring is on its way - with warmer evenings and rosé days ahead.

Our Pinot Noir Rosé shows bright strawberry and watermelon notes, with the freshness and lift we’re looking forward to in the season ahead.

For now, we’ll keep this bottle on ice for you. 😉

A glimpse at the people, rhythm and hands-on work behind the 2026 vintage. It’s been a busy season, with our wines bottled earlier than ever. Our team brings care, skill and plenty of hard work to every part of the process.

This is some of the team helping take the wines from grape to bottle.

Happy Pinot Noir Day.
We're raising a glass to two wines that showcase the diversity of our region.

Our Whitehaven Marlborough Pinot Noir brings together fruit from the Southern Valleys and cooler Awatere Valley, creating an elegant, expressive style with red cherry, plum, violet and subtle savoury spice.

Our Greg Single Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard in Marlborough's Southern Valleys, where clay-based soils help create a wine with depth, structure and a distinctive sense of place.

Different vineyards, different expressions - but both

Behind the scenes in the Wairau Valley.

This view, shared by one of our vineyard operators, captures a quiet winter moment in the Wairau Valley, where the vines rest and the work of the next vintage continues.

It’s a reminder that every bottle begins here - in the vineyard, in the season and in the place we call home.

Our story began on the water.

In the early 90s, Greg and Sue White found a haven in the Marlborough Sounds, aboard their yacht, Chanticleer. What started as a love for the sea and for Marlborough grew into Whitehaven Wines.

Founded in 1994, that same spirit of exploration and connection to place still guides us today – with Sue at the helm.

A Sauvignon Blanc that's crafted to bring people together - a wine that captures the vibrant spirit of Marlborough's coast in every sip.

Lifted aromas of passionfruit, citrus and fresh herbs lead into a lively palate bursting with juicy tropical fruit, zesty lime and a crisp mineral finish. Influenced by the cooling sea breezes and sun-drenched vineyards of Marlborough's coastline, our Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, vibrant and .

Rain or shine, the wine keeps moving.

Earlier this month, our first bottling of Sauvignon Blanc 2026 left the winery - a milestone that marks the next chapter for the vintage.

While the weather wasn't exactly worth celebrating, the occasion certainly was. So, between the umbrellas, wet-weather gear and a busy day in the cellar, the team paused to raise a glass to another seasonal milestone.
