To find out more click hereA Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc looks good in any portfolio, but finding someone you can trust to make your wine all the way over in New Zealand—on the edge of the world—is going to take a leap of faith. It’s a choice you’ll want to get right.
If you’ve ever dealt with a supply gap or quality issues from a less-than-reliable supplier, you know how quickly your hard-earned shelf space can disappear. One missed delivery and someone else’s bottle is in your place.
Your brand label is your reputation, and every time a supplier hands you average wine, that reputation takes a hit. You’ve put in the work to build buyer trust—don’t let the wrong supplier tank it.
Too many suppliers treat bulk wine as an afterthought, saving the best for themselves and passing off the leftovers. But your customers deserve more. Wine worth drinking at a fair price—that’s not too much to ask.
We understand that adding a new wine to your portfolio or choosing a new winery partner isn’t a decision you make lightly.
You know that building a strong wine portfolio is about more than just having the right wines—it’s about cultivating relationships and creating value for your clients by bringing them wines that sell.
We’ve been there. Before the pandemic, we were building our own family brand, Hillersden, and it was painful to let it go because we took real pride in the wines we were making. But managing both distribution and winemaking became too much. So we kept the name Hillersden and chose to shift our focus entirely to supporting high-quality, large-volume private label clients like you. Now, with no label of our own, we’re fully dedicated to helping you succeed with yours.
Newly constructed to meet today’s sustainability standards and best practices
with the capacity to support large-scale demand as your brand grows.

We know our vineyards, and we know Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Working directly with our vineyard management team, we make the timely decisions and strategic calls that each growing season demands. With us, you’re getting attention to detail at every step.
We know what it’s like to take pride in a label, and we’ll treat your wine as if it had our own name on it. Every client has our personal attention and access to all of our blends.
Make decisions on your Sauvignon Blanc directly with our winemaker, or bring in a member of your own team. Together, we’ll craft a wine that meets your market’s needs and is sure to sell.
Once you’ve paid for your wine, it’s yours—with your name on it. You have the option to store it in our tanks and draw down what you need, when you need it (as long as your wine is out before the next harvest).
Your wine is made here, in the Upper Wairau Valley of Marlborough. Knowing exactly where your wine comes from and how it’s made is the key to having an authentic story that resonates with customers and is something you can proudly share.

Harvest in Marlborough typically begins as early as March. By establishing a contract before harvest, you gain significant advantages.

Have a contract in place before harvest. This allows us to make the vineyard decisions that will best serve your brand, and allocate our resources to fulfil your needs.
Agreeing on prices before harvest helps you avoid post-harvest market fluctuations, often influenced by regional factors like weather and harvest yields. This approach protects your margins and allows you to keep prices consistent for your customers.
If your region has specific compliance requirements, those requirements will often affect the vineyard too. A pre-harvest contract gives us time to plan and easily accommodate your specifications.

Today, we’re an independent winery, proud to be part of Marlborough’s growth and to serve this incredible community.
We’re proud of this place and even prouder of our wine. It would be an honour to partner with you, to share in the values of quality, resilience, and the beauty of Marlborough—and to share some great wines with the world.
We look forward to the next chapter of our journey being your dedicated and trusted winery partner in New Zealand.
