PRODUCER PROFILE Zephyr wines are sourced from a 35 hectare, fourth-generation family farm situated in the Dillon's Point region of Marlborough's Wairau Valley. The name Zephyr, meaning a gentle breeze', is inspired by the prevailing wind that moderates the coastal family vineyard. Ten years after launching Zephyr, Ben and his wife Susie have transitioned 21 hectares of the family vineyard to organic farming practices. By carrying the bio-bro certified organic logo they are continuing Zephyr's journey to express the true flavours of the family farm, while emphasising on wine growing through soil health, biodiversity, regenerative farming, and, ultimately, mindful consumption. VINEYARD & VINIFICATION The vines are trained using a VSP 3-cane system and are organically farmed. The wine is fermented in stainless steel, using yeasts that enhance tropical and grassy notes. It is then aged on light lees in stainless steel for 3 months, adding texture and depth while preserving its fresh and vibrant character.
