“Dry River Wines, founded in 1979 by Dr. Neil and Dawn McCallum, stands as a cornerstone in the rich tapestry of Martinborough's winemaking history. Pioneers in their own right, they laid the foundation for what would become an iconic producer of exceptional wines.
In November 2022, Dry River Wines welcomed a new era under the stewardship of Wellington businessman Charlie Zheng. With a commitment to honouring the legacy of this esteemed vineyard, Zheng handpicked the talented Ben McNab as the winemaker to guide the estate into the future.
At Dry River, meticulous viticulture is our guiding philosophy, and it forms the bedrock upon which our uncompromising commitment to quality is built. We craft wines that exemplify the very essence of our unique terroir, reflecting the dedication and passion that have defined our journey.”
