The very best of Marlborough
Jackson Estate embodies the very best of Marlborough, New Zealand, the essence of Sauvignon Blanc. Jackson Estate is a special place, a testament to the vision and determination of the Stichbury and Jackson families who have farmed the land on the Wairau River plain at Jacksons Road for more than 160 years.
Since planting our pioneering vineyards, established three decades ago, time, tide and fortune have smiled on Jackson Estate, and the unparalleled affinity between Marlborough and fine wine has been spectacularly realised.
The Jackson Family Heritage
The Jackson family came to New Zealand in 1842 on the Martha Ridgeway from Runnymede in England. Since that time each successive generation has cultivated the property known as Jackson Estate in the heart of the Marlborough region.
The famous gum tree that graces the Jackson Estate label was planted in 1867 by Alice Jackson. Today the tree stands over 140 feet tall.
Jackson Estate was founded in 1988 by John and Jo Stichbury when they established the Homestead vineyard. The first wines released in 1991 under the Jackson Estate label.
