Grove Mill was established in Marlborough in 1988 by a dedicated group of local grape growers and wine enthusiasts. Their mission: to make premium quality varietal wines that fully captured and reflected the delicious and unique intensity of Marlborough grapes. To make their dream a reality an historic Malthouse , a Marlborough landmark in Grovetown, Blenheim was purchased and transformed into a 150 tonne winery.
