Emma Marris Wines

Emma Marris is a professionally trained winemaker and 3rd generation from the pioneering Marris family, who founded Wither Hills and now own Leefield Station and The Ned Wines. Emma graduated with First Class Honours from the University of Adelaide before returning to work as winemaker for the family, while also having travelled abroad doing vintages in Bordeaux and in Oregon. 

With fruit sourced entirely from Leefield Station, Emma set out to start her own label in 2022, first with Sauvignon Blanc, then Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Emma's own label allows her the creative freedom to trial new techniques and methods, work with small select parcels from specific sites and terroirs, and cut her own path with wines unique to the rest of the family. All of Emma's own wines have won numerous awards in both New Zealand and overseas.
