In 1985, inspired by the pioneering efforts of other Marlborough mavericks, the Glover family converted their farm in Dillons Point to vine. Being a third generation farming family meant that there was a natural ability to see the potential in the land for vineyards and ultimately the production of world class wine.The family was well aboard what has been described the greatest wine experiment ever. In 2007 Owen and Wendy's passion for growing grapes finally overflowed into the desire to release their own brand – Zephyr. The wines immediately created a stir in the United Kingdom with Tim Atkin writing 'if I were to choose one Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at the moment it would be Zephyr' and the Gewurztraminer being named in Matthew Jukes Best 60 New Zealand Wines of 2009.
