Morton Estate, one of New Zealand’s leading wine producers, is an independent, privately owned company that is fiercely committed to wine making as an art, not just as a business. Innovative winemaking techniques and technology have always played a major role in this focus.

The company follows the boutique winery philosophy to producing top quality wines by controlling the entire winemaking process – from grafting its own cuttings, developing its own vineyards and viticultural techniques, investing in the best technology possible and attracting the best people.

Since its debut 30 years ago, Morton Estate has developed into one of New Zealand’s most respected wine companies, producing wines with a distinct sense of style and elegance. That’s a fitting philosophy for a company that was purchased by its owner, John Coney, only after he tasted a spectacularly good Morton Estate Pinot Noir from Hawkes Bay.

Expert evaluation of “terroir” and careful selection of vineyard sites have led to the development of five outstanding vineyards in the Hawkes Bay and two in Marlborough.

Morton Estate produces wines with a distinct sense of style and elegance. An obsession with perfection and a clear vision of where the company is going have been instrumental in the development of a world class winery over the past decade.

The company has invested heavily in viticultural research and techniques, its own rootstock grafting and nursery, staff training, and in clear, evocative brand values. A clear brand structure incorporates Morton Estate’s Black Label, White Label and Individual Vineyard series, providing top quality wines in every price range.
