The Delta Wine Company was founded in Marlborough in 2000 by three prominent wine industry veterans and good friends, who had spent evenings drinking wine and discussing the potential for exceptional and unique Pinot Noir in Marlborough. Using their extensive viticulture and winemaking expertise they found a site that was ideal for growing high quality Pinot Noir and planted it with selected Dijon clones.

Without the commercial limitations of their other projects, the friends spared no expense in the Delta venture. They invested in the best land and vines, as well as cropping at extremely low levels, hand harvesting with multiple picks and using self-indulgent winemaking.  This includes small batch fermentation, hand plunging, selecting premium French oak barriques and maturing in the best oak until the wine is at its optimum. This style of winemaking preserves and enhances the expression of the unique vineyard site as well as creating high quality premium wine.

The investment paid off, with Delta receiving several high-profile quality awards. In the following years, Delta slowly began to add other varieties to its portfolio as vineyard sites were identified that would produce exceptional and unique wines for a variety. In 2015 winemaker Heather Stewart, who had been mentored by the Delta founders for over seven years, joined the Delta team and in 2017 took over the hand crafting of Delta wines.

To this day, Delta produces hand crafted small batch wines that that are true and expressive of the unique characteristics of our land.
