Marathon Downs has been in the family for over 120 years. They started as share croppers, before receiving the farm in the ballot. Farming sheep, beef and arable crops. Producing wine, is a stamp of the fourth generation of this amazing family!

Marathon Downs make small batch, minimal intervention wines from the Awatere Valley, Marlborough.
Their grapes are all family farmed.
And their goal is make honest wines that express the rawness of the Awatere Valley and bring people together.

Hand picked, barrel fermented, aged on lees for 10 months. Zesty, Textural, Delicious. A Sauvignon with that classic Marlborough character, but more depth and complexity than you'd expect..
