The Cape House Journey
From coastal vineyards to your glass: the journey of Cape House Wines.
The Cape House Journey
Cape House Wines was born from a passion for New Zealand's pristine coastal landscapes and the exceptional wines they produce. Our journey began with a simple vision: to create a Sauvignon Blanc that captures the essence of Marlborough's unique terroir while embodying the relaxed sophistication of coastal living.
Working closely with select growers in Marlborough's premier wine region, we've developed relationships that allow us to source the finest grapes for our signature wine. Each bottle of Cape House represents our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the distinctive character of New Zealand's most celebrated wine region.

The Marlborough Region
Located at the northeastern tip of New Zealand's South Island, Marlborough has earned global recognition as one of the world's premier wine regions, particularly for Sauvignon Blanc.
Unique Climate
Marlborough enjoys long, sunny days and cool nights, creating ideal conditions for slow, flavor-intensive ripening while maintaining the grapes' natural acidity.
Distinctive Soils
The region's free-draining, moderately fertile soils stress the vines just enough to produce grapes with concentrated flavors and aromatic intensity.
Coastal Influence
Proximity to the ocean moderates temperatures and provides a cooling influence that helps preserve the vibrant acidity and aromatic qualities of Sauvignon Blanc.
Our Values
At Cape House Wines, our approach is guided by core principles that inform everything we do – from vineyard to bottle.
