You Can’t Afford to Get It Wrong from Half a World Away

A Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc looks good in every portfolio. But choosing someone to make  your wine-when you’re half a world away-takes more than optimism. You’re betting your brand on trust, execution, and consistency. That’s not a leap of faith. That’s a choice you need to get right.

In Sauvignon Blanc, No Shelf Space is Secure

When supply runs short or shipments miss their window, your brand takes the hit. Shelf space disappears, contracts fall through, and customer trust erodes.

You Don’t Put Your Name On Average

Your brand label is your reputation. You’ve put in the work to build buyer trust-don’t  let the wrong supplier tank it.

Bulk Wine Shouldn’t Mean Bottom Shelf

Too many suppliers save the best for themselves and pass off the leftovers. Bulk wine shouldn’t be an afterthought-and wine worth drinking at a fair price shouldn’t be a big ask.

Today, we’re an independent winery, proud to be part of Marlborough’s growth and to serve this  incredible community.

We’re proud of the wine we grow and make here in Marlborough. But we’re even more proud of  the trust our partners place in us. Whether you’re down the road or across the globe, we’re here  to help you put something great on the shelf.

We’re proud of the wine we grow and make here in Marlborough.

Frequently Asked By Our Clients

What’s your minimum order for bulk wine?

Our minimum volume for bulk wine supply is 24,000 litres.

Can I request samples before committing?

Yes. You can browse available inventory online and request samples at any time. We’re happy to work with you to find the right wine for your brand.

Do you only use estate-grown fruit?

While much of our wine is produced from our 175ha estate, we also source fruit from trusted Marlborough growers when additional volume or style matching is needed.

What’s included in your winemaking services?

We offer both crush-only and full-service winemaking, including cold stabilization, storage, and bottling coordination. Each client receives a tailored production plan.

Do you bottle onsite?

We work with trusted bottling partners and can help you navigate the process. We can help coordinate scheduling, compliance, and delivery—so you don’t have to.

Can I contract wine before harvest?

Yes. Pre-harvest contracts are available and recommended for clients looking to secure volume and style well in advance.

Can you produce wine to meet my market’s regulations?

Absolutely. We can tailor wine to meet the technical specifications and legal requirements of your target market. We also provide export compliance support to ensure smooth entry into your destination country.

Do you produce your own wine label?

No. We exist to support our clients’ brands, not compete with them. All wine produced is intended for private label, export, or custom production clients.
