New Zealand

New Zealand is famed for its incredible Sauvignon Blanc; exotic aromas and fruits, with beautiful limey acidity. Yet there is far more to the two islands than just the one grape – even though it is pretty spectacular.

The explosive flavours of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc have dazzled wine critics throughout the world, setting the international benchmark for the style. However, did you know, Pinot Noir is New Zealand’s second most grown grape variety, and is now seen by many as the benchmark for New World Pinot Noir – in our portfolio we have 11 amazing ones to choose from.

Alongside Marlborough’s family-owned and operated Saint Clair, we are delighted to also showcase Lake Chalice. Winemaker Chloe Gabrielson takes a boutique approach to ensure the diverse microclimate and terroir of the Marlborough valley are translated into the wines, independently fermenting unique parcels of fruit from single vineyards – all with unique biodiversity. Falling under three different labels – The Nest, Falcon and Raptor – you are guaranteed to find something to suit your taste.

To complete our round-up of fabulous producers, Malcolm Francis skilfully crafts exquisite Pinot Noir wines from Rockburn in Central Otago.
