New Zealand is known above all for fruit-bursting sauvignon blanc, and for Marlborough sauvignon blanc in particular. The style is more pungently fruity than sauvignon grown anywhere else in the world, with passion fruit, gooseberry and acidity running underneath.
Pinot noir is the country's most critically admired red. It suits the cool, dry conditions of Central Otago that produces perfumed reds with finesse.
Which New Zealand Wine Regions Do We Stock?
We stock wine from various regions across New Zealand, with every bottle hand chosen by our buying team:
Marlborough: the country’s largest region and the home of its most famous whites. Our Marlborough selection includes the Topuku and The Perfect Cut sauvignons, the barrel-fermented Greywacke Wild Sauvignon and a magnum of Clayvin Vineyard Chardonnay from Wheeler&Fromm.
Nelson: a small region at the top of the South Island, sheltered by mountains on three sides and well suited to aromatic whites. Greenhough is among its finest producers, and we stock both the organic Stone’s Throw Pinot Noir and the River Garden Sauvignon Blanc.
Central Otago: a dry, inland wine region best known for Pinot Noir, including Domain Road, which grows its grapes in Bannockburn.
Hawke’s Bay: the oldest wine region in the country, warm enough to ripen syrah and Bordeaux varieties. Our C J Pask Sauvignon Blanc comes off the famous Gimblett Gravels.
