About Lawson's Dry Hills Wines Ltd
Ross and Barbara Lawson founded Lawson’s Dry Hills in 1992; they had been growing Gewürztraminer grapes for other wines companies on their Alabama Road vineyard since 1980. Their first vintage which included Gewürztraminer from the Alabama Road vineyard, was just fifteen tones and was managed by Ross from the old tin shed on the property, which is still standing and now forms part of the winery cellar door.
Their Gewürztraminer has gone on to be recognized as one of the country’s finest and has firmly established Lawson’s Dry Hills on the national and international wine stage.
Other plantings soon followed and the company now produces a benchmark range of Marlborough wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, as well as the outstanding Gewürztraminer.
All the grapes for Lawson’s Dry Hills are sourced from Marlborough’s Wairau, Waihopai, Omaka and Brancott valleys.
Ross and Barbara have a simple company philosophy – “To produce top quality Marlborough wines of great character at a fair price”
Lawson’s Dry Hills has one other distinction, Ross believes that it was the first winery in the world to seal all it’s wine with a screwcap as a means of avoiding cork tainted wine.
Lawson’s Dry Hills is a family owed Marlborough winery committed to producing premium quality wines that exhibit excellent depth of flavour, are complex and have minimal impact on the environment. Our winery and company vineyards are accredited with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand.
