It remains one of the oldest in the area. Mike and his wife Robyn built a winery on the site and named it in honour of his mother, Isabel. Their ambition was to produce ultra-premium classic grape varieties that were a true expression of Marlborough. Throughout the 1980s the couple planted key noble varieties Chardonnay followed by Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The chosen parcel of land delivered fruit of exceptional quality, and it wasn't long before it was in high demand from premium and internationally renowned New Zealand wine producers. In the natural order of things Isabel Estate released its single-vineyard wine in 1994, the Isabel Estate Pinot Noir. In 2001 Mike’s mother, Isabel, coerced him into abandoning his flying career to focus 100 per cent on Isabel Estate including overseeing the development of a new state-of-the-art winery. Mike may have discontinued his flying career, but his eponymous wine label continues to soar to new heights as Isabel Estate is globally recognised for its high-quality single-vineyard expressions of the Marlborough. In 2005 Sir Edmund Hillary, one of the most celebrated New Zealanders in history, opened the Isabel Estate Cellar Door.
