Wine from Marlborough

Spy Valley's flagship wine is a picture book Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, displaying the much-loved intensive aromas, that make the region so unique. It is a perfect combination of vibrant flavour, impressive aroma, distinctive fruit character and a balanced acidity.

Is served in Swiss Air Business Class this summer. Beautifully perfumed with notes of nectarine, lemon, passionfruit and hints of herbs. The grapes were harvested in pristine conditional at optimal ripeness, and the resulting wines display great fruit purity and generosity. From the Maori winery te Pa in Marlbrough.

From Kevin Judd, one of New Zealand's most iconic winemakers. A succulent tropical-fruited style with that classic Marlborough zing.

Framingham Sauvignon Blanc is made to be typically Marlborough in style, with a few great tasting twists. The focus is on the texture of the wine, giving it some richness and mouthfeel so that it is not lean or austere. This is one wine that won't give it all away on the first sip. 

Great value Reserve Pinot Noir with from Marlborough pioneer Lawson's Dry Hills. An attractive, accessible, succulent wine. For delicious drinking right now.

A dragon meets you at the entrance of the vineyard. Escaroth's dry farmed Pinot Noir produces a bewildering fragrance of violets, red cherry and blackberry overlaid with a smoky, earthy savouriness.

New Zealand's most internationally acclaimed wine. This benchmark wine redrew the global Sauvignon Blanc map and rearranged a few boundaries in the world wine atlas. Intense, fragrant, superbly varietal. The wine, that put New Zealand on the global wine stage.

Te Whare Ra is known for their Riesling. The Riesling M is designed in a medium-dry style and effortlessly lines up with the outstanding Te Whare Ra wines. Dangerously drinkable!

From te Pa's 'Redwood Hills' estate in the Awatere Valley, the Hillside Sauvignon Blanc is balanced with fresh Awatere citrus & minerality, with great length & palate weight.

You’ll experience a rich and full-flavoured wine that offers a perfect balance of concentrated, ripe fruit and toasty French oak, offset by a refreshing thread of fresh, citrus acidity.

The fruit is the hero. This Chardonnay balances concentration and complexity, whilst retaining the finesse that a higher natural acidity brings.

A classic style wine that showcases the quality of wines from Marlborough. It is a blend from three vineyards in two different subregions, one being in the cooler Awatere Valley (leading to more restrained wine with great texture) and the other in the warmer Wairau Valley (lovely line of minerality with riper tropical notes and fleshiness).

A bit of history in the glass. Cultivated on the shores of the Wairau Bar, the place, where the Maori landed in New Zealand more than 800 years ago. The vines carry a low yield but high-quality fruit. 

A lovely Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with complex flavours ranging from citrus through to tropical notes. Mahi aim to use the fruit on the palate rather than focussing on the nose, and look for a wine with subtlety, complexity and length.

Based on the German Mosel style of Spatlese, Framingham Select Riesling conveys the very purity of the grape under Andrew Brown's masterful stewardship. Delicate and light on its feet, with naturally low alcohol and great tension between residual sugar and acidity.

TORU - (which means "three" in Maori) is an aromatic blend Te Whare Ra first created over 12 years ago. It was the first of it's kind in New Zealand. It is a delicious, co-fermented "field blend" of three varieties – Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris. Bob Campbell MW simply loves it: "My favorite New Zealand field blend." This wine is an international best seller with a big following.
