Over the last eight years, the focus at Dry River has been encouraging biodiversity, with regenerative, biodynamic and organic vineyard farming practices taking a major role in defining their approach. Established in 1979, Dry River Wines was one of Martinborough’s first wineries, named after one of South Wairarapa’s earliest sheep stations. From the very first vintage, Dry River has followed three key vineyard management principles: no irrigation, careful canopy management, and crop thinning, that work together to produce grapes of remarkable ripeness and concentration.
