In the South Pacific lies a land of breathtaking beauty, where nature's elements and rugged landscape have provided what is arguably the finest wine country in the world.

New Zealand, historically well known for its stunning, unspoiled landscape, is creating another name in the world for itself by becoming recognized as a producer of world-class wines.

The qualities that make New Zealand “an unspoiled paradise” -- climate and geography -- along with the people who live here, work together to create highly distinctive, premium quality wines.

Marlborough, located at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, is the largest winemaking region. In little more than 20 years, Marlborough has become the country’s most recognized wine-growing area.

Marlborough has almost single-handedly brought the attention of the New Zealand wine industry to the world, with its award-winning Sauvignon Blancs.

The ideal combination of free-draining alluvial soils, abundant sunshine as well as long cool nights and a long growing season has helped to build and maintain the rich, vibrant fruit flavours for which Marlborough is now famous.
