Situated just east of Martinborough, Escarpment is located on 24 hectares of terraced alluvial gravel above the banks of the Huangarua River and is overlooked by the Aorangi Ranges. It was established in 1999, a joint business venture between Larry and Sue McKenna and Robert and Mem Kirby. Larry is the winemaker, with an international reputation.
The story of Kupe, the great Polynesian explorer, provides the inspiration for the vineyard’s distinctive brand and logo. The name Escarpment and Edge comes from the kilometre long escarpment (cliff) behind the winery which drops sharply down to the river.
Escarpment's aim is simple: to produce the very best of tomorrow's definitive New World wines; wines with complexity, texture and structure. Under Larry's leadership the team aims to reward wine lovers with progressive and suggestive wines that encourage them to venture to the edge of wine loving and appreciation.
