Welcome to Ripple Effect Wines

REW is our family project focused on making soulful wines, grown on a unique site with the help of some truly epic people.

From a one hectare, hillside, dry-farmed block in Marlborough, we thoughtfully grow and hand-pick Chardonnay and Pinot Noir creating vibrant and immersive wines. We run the whole operation ourselves (well, with the support of our amazing community of friends) and we’re having a great time in the process.

The Wines

Dry farmed, small batch, hand-picked, wild fermentation - our "gate to glass" tribute to soulful wines.

Glass in hand, a good yarn and a laugh with your mates, that’s what it’s all about. We hope you love them!
