New Zealand Wine Regions

New Zealand’s Wine Regions cover over 700 miles of land and is home to the most southerly vineyards. New Zealand wine regions are located in maritime climates and benefiting from long sunshine and cooler nights. We love New Zealand Wine and all the regions the wine comes from, see the fantastic regions we stock below.

Our Favourite New Zealand Wine Region

AUCKLAND

With the ambition to rival the vintners of the Hawkes Bay region, Auckland’s vineyards flourished and a few of New Zealand’s largest wineries were born.

CENTRAL OTAGO

Found at the extreme limits of winemaking, Central Otago is found at 44° and 45° south and is home to some of the most southerly vineyards the world has to offer

GISBORNE

Often overlooked, Gisborne is a powerhouse for New Zealand wine, contributing to roughly a quarter of the nation’s output.

HAWKE’S BAY

Back in 1851, Hawkes Bay was the first region in New Zealand to have a winery established, ‘The Mission Estate’.

MARLBOROUGH

Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest and most famed wine region. Early successes with the Sauvignon Blanc varietal range far and wide, landing NZ on the international wine map.

MARTINBOROUGH

Although a small region, there’s no doubt about the fact Martinborough packs a punch. Producing some of New Zealand’s most acclaimed wines and garnering a large following.

NELSON

Dwarfed by the dominant surrounding regions such as Marlborough, Nelson is often overlooked. But when one takes the time to explore both wine and country, Nelson is a delightful find.

NORTH CANTERBURY

Spanning almost 200km of the South Islands eastern coast, Canterbury is one of New Zealand’s true gems. With a cool climate, the regions grapes experience long and steady ripening periods.
