Grape Varieties

The Predominant Red and White Varieties of New Zealand 

ALL WINES ARE LISTED BY THE BOTTLE AND AVAILABLE FOR UK DELIVERY ONLY.

New Zealand's small population, distant location and agricultural economy have earned the country a 'clean, green' image. Visitors often describe it as 'an unspoiled paradise'. New Zealand's winemakers and grape growers are determined to keep it this way. Innovative practices in the vineyard and winery which deliver quality in a sustainable and environmental manner, ensure that New Zealand meets a growing world demand for wines that have been produced in a 'clean and green' fashion.
