Grove Mill, located in Marlborough's Waihopai Valley, has been producing premium quality wine since 1988. Top of the range wines are designated with the "Grove Mill Marlborough" label, and drink now wines branded with the "Sanctuary Marlborough" label and with the "Frog Haven Marlborough" label. Grove Mill has a reputation for innovation and leadership, being the first winery to plant Pinot Gris in Marlborough and to produce a Marlborough Pinot Gris. Their Innovator label (formerly known as Winemaker's Reserve) is a non commercial experimental label. Recent releases include what is believed to be New Zealand's first Roussanne. Grove Mill describes its wines as being distinctive - rich, full flavoured, complex, elegant and well balanced; food friendly; and ideal for both immediate enjoyment and for mid-term cellaring. The current Grove Mill range comprises Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Merlot and Pinot Noir. The winery does well in both local and international wine competitions. Examples include Blue Gold for the Grove Mill's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2000 at the Sydney Top 100 2001and the Trophy for Champion Pinot Gris for the Grove Mill Marlborough Pinot Gris 1999 at the Royal Easter Wine Show 2000. In addition to wine and food tastings, Grove Mill offers visitors a Vine Library and exhibitions of art by leading New Zealand artists. In 2001 it was awarded a Habitat Enhancement Award at the Marlborough Rural Environment Awards for its project to rehabilitate the adjacent wetlands, which has included the planting of more than 4000 native grasses, shrubs and trees. Avaliable locally and from the winery, Grove Mill wines are also exported to 15 markets including Australia, Barbados, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Fiji, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Singapore, Sweden, the Netherlands Thailand, United Kingdom, and the USA.
