Chasing Venus wines are produced from grapes grown on small family farms in the acclaimed Marlborough appellation. Griggs Vineyard is situated in an old riverbed against the eastern hills of the appellation. The gravelly, well-drained soils promote pronounced grapefruit flavors. The Beacon Hill vineyard is located in the heart of the Marlborough appellation where the heavy clay soils contribute the herbal aromas found in Chasing Venus. Comely Bank is just south of Blenheim in the alluvial soils of the valley. These grapes produce layers of kiwi, lime and mineral notes. Blind River is located in the Awatere Valley. This cool-weather site, close to the Pacific Ocean, contributes the bracing stony, flinty character in the finish.
