Escarpment is a winery located in Martinborough, New Zealand, producing wines in one of the country's most respected cool-climate regions. Martinborough sits on the southern tip of New Zealand's North Island, approximately 80 kilometers northeast of Wellington, and has established itself as a premier location for Burgundian grape varieties, particularly Pinot Noir.

The Martinborough region benefits from a unique terroir characterized by free-draining alluvial gravel soils deposited by ancient river systems, combined with a relatively dry climate sheltered by surrounding hills. This microclimate produces warm days and cool nights during the growing season, creating ideal conditions for developing the complexity and elegance associated with high-quality Pinot Noir. The region's proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides maritime influences that help maintain acidity and freshness in the wines.

Escarpment focuses on Pinot Noir production, working with fruit from this distinctive Martinborough terroir. Their current range includes expressions of this varietal that reflect the region's capacity to produce structured yet elegant wines with characteristic cool-climate precision.
