The Waghorn family makes a dizzying number of wines from an array of vineyards across Marlborough, from “commercial” Sauvignon Blanc to Albariño in an isolated coastal site (the Kekerengu Coast) to wild-fermented Chenin Blanc. Even at the lower end of the price scale, they manage to obtain balance and good varietal character, but it's the single-vineyard wines where things start to get interesting, notably The Farm Chardonnay. The Wrekin Chenin Blanc shows there is promise for this Loire variety on Kiwi shores.

The Waghorn family makes a wide range of wines from an array of vineyards across Marlborough. There are few making wines as far east as the Kekerengu Coast, but the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc shows that there’s plenty of potential here with its salty, subtle style. The textural and fresh 2023 Pinot Gris off the same site is also convincing, but the Albariño has yet to prove itself. Even the entry-level range, which combines fruit from across Marlborough’s different zones, manages to achieve flavor, balance and good varietal character. The Chenin Blanc Wrekin also shows there is promise for this Loire variety on Kiwi shores.

The Waghorn family makes a dizzying number of wines from various vineyards across Marlborough, from 'commercial' Sauvignon Blanc to Albariño in an isolated coastal site (the Kēkerengū Coast) to wild-fermented Chenin Blanc. Even at the lower end of the price scale, they manage to obtain balance and good varietal character, but it's the single vineyard wines where things start to get interesting, notably The Farm Chardonnay. The Wrekin Chenin Blanc shows promise for this Loire variety on Kiwi shores.
