Welcome to Blue Earth Estate international e-cellar door

Blue Earth Estate is an award-winning vineyard and olive grove on an old river terrace above Te Muna Valley, just outside of Martinborough.  Stony soils overlaying a limestone terrace, a gentle north facing slope and exposure to the sun and the wind, combined with meticulous care produce small crops of intensely flavoured grapes. 

Mike and Margaret Hanson began planting the vineyard in 1999 and have nurtured it through embracing sustainability principles.  They use intensive canopy management and minimal irrigation to prevent disease and maximise flavour.  They make most of their own power, do extensive plantings of native trees and have provided a habitat for native birds.
