The vineyards are located at an altitude of 63m in the Southern Valley, facing gently north.
The soil is well-drained and contains a lot of pebbles and gravel from rivers.
The soil is made up of layers of clay and river soil containing gravel and pebbles. Folium Vineyard was established in June 2010 in Brancott Valley, Marlborough, in the northeast of New Zealand's South Island. At Folium Vineyard, we grow Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with great care, and aim to produce the highest quality wines. The soil of the vineyard is made up of layers of clay brought by the movement of glaciers during the ice age and gravel brought by the flooding of the Wairau River. The high clay content allows the vines to retain the moisture they need to grow even in dry summers. By planting more trees than other vineyards in Marlborough, we are able to produce more concentrated and powerful fruits. In order to maintain New Zealand's clean environment, we follow the regulations of the organic farming certification organization "Biogro" (certified in 2014). "The fastest way to make high-quality wine is to grow high-quality grapes," says Okada, the winegrower and brewer. In the fields, they strictly limit yields, manage the canopy by removing leaves, and in the fall, they hand-harvest the fully ripe grapes. To make the most of the individuality of the harvested grapes, they keep human involvement in the brewing process to a minimum, producing wines that reflect the terroir of Folium Vineyard.
