Sorrell Wines is a Marlborough project built on a simple idea: minimal intervention, maximum flavour.

Founded by winemaker Dan Sorrell, alongside partner Roberta, the focus is on organic wines that reflect where they come from — not where they’re pushed to go.

Dan’s path into wine wasn’t traditional. After time working across both Old World and New World regions, he returned to New Zealand with a clear perspective: respect the vineyard, work gently, and let the site speak.

Today, Sorrell works with carefully chosen Marlborough vineyards, including sites such as Auntsfield, The Wrekin and Churton — each contributing its own character and texture to the wines.

In the winery, the approach stays hands-off. Fermentations rely on indigenous yeasts, oak is used with restraint, and unnecessary manipulation is avoided. The aim is to capture a true expression of place, season and fruit.

The result is a range that feels both thoughtful and easy — wines with depth and structure, but always a sense of balance. The kind you can think about, or simply enjoy.

At its core, Sorrell Wines is about connection: to land, to people, and to the quiet details that make each vintage different.
