NEW ZEALAND

Step into our vineyards and you’ll sense something special. 

Think big landscapes, passionate people, and a true love for making great wine. From Marlborough’s rows of vineyards to Central Otago’s rugged mountainous landscapes, every bottle reflects the land and the people behind it. Our Auckland office is the hub where expert teams – from supply chain and to finance, customer service, and more – work together to ensure everything runs smoothly, from the winery right through to our customers.

Marlborough

Selecting grapes from more than 20 vineyards across six distinct regions – including the Awatere Valley, Wairau Plains, and Southern Valleys – our winemakers blend together a vibrant range of flavours such as passionfruit, pink grapefruit, and mango.

Great wine doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of a true team effort. Our Marlborough crew includes skilled, dedicated people working in the vineyards, crafting wine in the cellar, and keeping things running behind the scenes.

Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is world famous for its unmistakable Marlborough style.
