130 多年来，马丁庄园雄伟壮观的⽯石头城堡，为卢瑟福（Rutherford）产区的东部阶地带来了荣耀与光辉。然⽽，这座被古⽼的⼭⾕橡树所掩盖的古⽼庄 园，在⼤众⼼中仍然是⼀个谜。 ⼀直以外，马丁庄园都由家族私⼈拥有， 占地⾯积⼗〸⼆英亩，是纳帕⾕最古⽼的庄园之⼀。
1836 – 墨西哥政府将12,000英亩的纳帕谷土地转让给乔伊斯·扬（George C. Yount）上尉，这块土地被称为佳慕赠地，其中的一部分即是日后的马丁庄园。
1853 – 亨利·哈里森·哈里斯（Henry Harrison Harris）与家人的马车队从密苏里州抵达纳帕谷。
1870 – 哈里斯以6130金币的价格，从乔治·扬的地产里购买了超过100英亩的土地。
1887 – 17年后，亨利·哈里斯（Henry Harris）已成为纳帕县倍受尊敬的警长和成功的葡萄酒商，他在位于纳帕谷卢瑟福（Rutherford）中心地带的佳慕赠地B区，打造了自己的同名酒窖。
1888-19...
马丁庄园位于纳帕谷卢瑟福红酒产区的核心地带，总面积约六平方英里。1996年，庄园主 在普埃尔塔·多拉达（Puerta Dorada）葡萄园内种植了17,000棵赤霞珠、小维铎和品丽珠葡萄。为了确保能播种最适宜葡萄园内风土的葡萄藤，庄园主聘请邻居查克·瓦格纳（也是 佳慕酒庄的所有者及酿酒师），以借助其专业知识来监督葡萄园的发展。这是城堡周围的土地第一次被播种，也给这个初生的葡萄园提供了绝佳的种植土壤。
自播种以来，葡萄园内的藤蔓就得到了专业团队的精心栽培和长期的关注。如今，根茎已成长为二十岁的葡萄藤蔓。这些葡萄藤的根部能够深入到排水良好的 沙砾土壤中，因此几乎不需要灌溉。而葡萄园独特的地理位置、温暖的日间和凉爽的夜晚，以及温和的晨雾，则共同造就了适宜高品质酿酒葡萄生长的微气候。
马丁庄园赤霞珠红酒是在卢瑟福城堡中小范围手工制作而成的。这些葡萄酒的品质完美的反映了其原材料所成长的知名风土。细致的芳香，丰富的层次感，以及适量的单宁，是马丁庄园高端红酒的标志。
完整的葡萄酒酿造过程全部在城堡中进行，从而能够最大限度地控制和关注细节。每个葡萄簇 都经过精心挑选，然后再手工分类到不同浆果品类中。马丁庄园的赤霞珠葡萄酒在酒庄最先进的葡萄酒酿造厂中达到完美状态。法国Nomblot酒罐，Le Jeune发酵桶，Radoux橡木发酵罐以及用于温和提取葡萄汁的意大利篮式压榨机，则整齐的排列在地窖内。
这些在欧洲定制的酿酒设备，帮助才华横溢的酿酒师亚伦·波特（Aaron Pott）酿造出反映产地独特风味的葡萄酒。只有来自精选生产商的法国橡木桶才能用于马丁庄园红酒（Martin Estate Cabernets）的陈酿。陈酿时间从18个月到20个月不等，具体取决于采收期的情况。
