Police said they were notified about the grass fire on Seaview Road at 10.55am.
A police spokesperson said: “Police were only required to assist with traffic management”.
Yealands Estate Winery’s general manager of sustainability Mike Wentworth told the Herald the winery was evacuated as a precaution.
“The team is extremely grateful to Fire and Emergency for their quick and professional response.
“The fire is now contained. Marlborough emergency management, fire, police and the rapid response team who attended the scene, are dampening down any remaining hotspots.
“The initial assessment is that damage is limited to grass and vegetation, with minimal impact on the productive vineyard,” Wentworth said.
On January 10, South Marlborough moved to a prohibited fire season until further notice.
A prohibited fire season means a total ban on outdoor fires and all previously granted fire permits are suspended.
Fenz’s Marlborough Group Manager Chris Hayles said earlier: “With the hot and dry weather we have been experiencing, we have very high fire danger. Fires will start and spread very easily and could be extremely difficult to contain.”
