New Zealand Wine
New Zealand produces less than 1% of the world’s wine yet offers an impressive array of varieties and styles, acclaimed around the globe.
Billion dollar exports
Central to the success of this $1 billion plus export industry is New Zealand’s unique temperate, maritime climate, resulting in pure and vibrant wines, as well as the unswerving passion and commitment of our wine producers for producing premium wines in sustainable ways.
Diverse wine styles
New Zealand wines deliver a freshness and vibrancy that has secured a reputation with top chefs and discerning consumers as the perfect accompaniment to a range of international cuisines. The diversity of New Zealand wine means there is a style to please even the most selective of palates, from Gisborne Gewurztraminer to Central Otago Pinot Noir, and Marlborough’s ever popular Sauvignon Blanc.
