Waikutakuta / Robin Hood Bay is a picturesque, sheltered bay at the eastern edge of the Marlborough Sounds, shaped by layered history and early Maori occupation.
European naming likely stems from a whaling ship called the Robin Hood that visited or was wrecked in the bay in the early 1800s.
Whalers operated here from the 1830s to 1840s, followed by generations of farming that now inform Robin Hood Bay wines.
Our story
Shaped by generations of land stewardship.
Robin Hood Bay is a family owned Marlborough wine business shaped by more than five decades of practical land stewardship in the region.
The story began with horticulture and cropping, which built a deep understanding of Marlborough soils, climate, and growing conditions.
Today we farm 400 acres of vineyards across the diverse Marlborough terroir, enabling us to produce wines with a hands-on regional perspective.
Our wines
Sauvignon Blanc
Bright, mineral, and unmistakably Marlborough.
Our Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful wine that captures the essence of the coastline. Known for its vibrant and crisp character, this vintage offers refreshing aromatics along with tropical fruit notes.
The cool maritime climate contributes to the wine's bright acidity and minerality, creating a well-balanced palate with vibrant definition.
Ideal for pairing with seafood, salads, or a light pasta dish.
