The vineyards supplying Ant Moore wines are planted across Marlborough’s sun-soaked valley floors and gently sloping sites, where free-draining alluvial soils of gravel, silt, and stones dominate the landscape. These soils limit vine vigor and encourage concentrated fruit, while Marlborough’s long sunshine hours and cool coastal nights create the perfect balance of ripeness and acidity. The region is especially known for Sauvignon Blanc, but Ant Moore also works extensively with Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, varieties that thrive in the region’s cool climate and diverse micro-sites.

Winemaking at Ant Moore Wines is driven by a philosophy of minimal intervention and maximum expression of fruit purity. White wines are typically fermented in stainless steel to preserve bright aromatics and crisp acidity, while Pinot Noir is handled with gentle extraction and aged in French oak to build structure and complexity. The style is unmistakably Marlborough — vibrant, aromatic, and precise — with wines that showcase clarity of fruit and refreshing balance.

Founder and winemaker Ant Moore remains deeply involved in every stage of production. Known for his creative, hands-on approach, he has earned a strong reputation in Marlborough for crafting wines that are both technically precise and highly drinkable. His background working harvests across multiple continents shaped his understanding of site-driven winemaking, and today his wines continue to reflect the energy and innovation that define modern New Zealand wine.
