Brancott Estate have a good story. The vineyard was the site of the first planting of Sauvignon Blanc in the Marlborough region, which makes it something of a patriach in our young wine industry. The brand has heritage, but it’s also looking forward.

The Brancott Estate Heritage Centre has been designed by Fearon Hay Architects, and the simple elongated pavilion is quintessentially their style – simple, minimal forms, with exacting, intricate detail. The centre has wine tasting facilities, cellar door, a 40 seat restaurant and meeting spaces. The location gives an impressive view of the vineyard, and serves to celebrate the heritage of Sauv in the area.
