Lawson's Dry Hills

Lawson’s Dry Hills is all about firsts. It was was of the first vineyards in Marlborough’s modern wine industry when it was founded by Ross and Barbara Lawson in 1982. They initially sold all the grapes they grew before launching Lawson’s Dry Hills wines in 1992. Another decade later, they were one of the first to launch wines with screwcaps in 2001, along with 26 other wineries who collaborated with this innovative new packaging.

The couple and their wines have been highly instrumental in New Zealand’s modern wine scene and while Ross has sadly passed away, Barbara remains strongly involved. And Lawson’s Dry Hills remains a 100% Marlborough winery, using grapes from the area’s sub regions on the Wairau Plains, Waihopai, Omaka and Awatere valleys. Each area brings a different character and strength to bear on the great wines made at this significant, pioneering and adventurous  Marlborough winery.
