Central Valley, New Zealand
Scorpius Wines embodies the spirit of discovery and connection, its name drawn from one of the most recognisable constellations in the Southern Hemisphere. For centuries, the Scorpius constellation guided explorers across oceans, uniting the northern and southern skies in a shared map of the heavens. Similarly, Scorpius Wines forges a path that celebrates both tradition and innovation, sourced from select vineyards in Marlborough’s renowned Wairau and Awatere Valleys. This exceptional wine reflects the purity of its origins and the artistry of its creation.
Each wine embodies the art of blending distinct soils and local climates.
