Hunters Wine

In the last 25 years the province of Marlborough has become New Zealand's largest and best-known wine region with a reputation for producing some of the world's finest Sauvignon Blanc. This huge potential was recognised back in 1983 by Jane Hunter and her late husband Ernie when they founded their first fledgling winery in the picturesque Wairau Valley.

 

Since those early years Jane has been owner, viticulturist and managing director of what has become one of New Zealand's most established wineries, Hunters Wines. Under her expertise, the original vineyard area has increased by 2.5 times its original size and the company's annual output has grown to around 60,000 cases of wine, nearly half of which is exported.
