Fournier has leased a winery for five years that was previously used by the north American winery, Kendall-Jackson.

New Zealand extends 1000 miles from sub-tropical Northland to the world’s most southerly grape-growing region, Central Otago. Vineyards benefit from the moderating effect of the maritime climate as no vineyard is more than 80 miles from the ocean. With long sunshine hours and nights cooled by sea breezes, New Zealand wine is distinctive for its purity, vibrancy and intensity. The long ripening period – a result of cool temperatures – allows flavour development whilst retaining fresh acidity, a balance for which New Zealand wines are renowned. If you thought that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, or Cloudy Bay was all that New Zealand produced... look again!

Following the end of Apartheid in the early 1990s, the South African wine industry has been on an evolutionary fast-track.  Vineyard expansion, improved viticultural and vinification practices borrowed from the Old World, both international and domestic investment and a quality conscious focus have all helped to catapult the Rainbow nation into one of the New World's most dynamic emerging forces.  The wineries we represent here are amongst the most impressive and historic in the Cape, hinting at exciting times to come and reinforcing the vinous scope that this wonderful nation has to offer.
