Herzog
Herzog Review
Therese and Hans Herzog produce a superb range of wines off their organically managed estate vineyard. Pinot grigio, pinot noir, and montepulciano are standouts, along with their wonderful merlot-cabernet, aptly named "The Spirit of Marlborough." The tasting area invites you to spend a long sunny afternoon exploring the delights of the cellar. You can also enjoy an elegant bistro lunch in the tasting room, or, if you've made reservations, you can have a full meal at the adjoining —widely considered one of the best in the country. Or book to join one of the daily Winemaker's Table lunches and explore the joys of the Herzog cellars along with some wonderful food. There are also cooking classes available (from NZ$180) and a delightful boutique vineyard cottage to stay in (from NZ$380 per night).
