Description:

In the last 30 years the province of Marlborough has moved from virtual obscurity to 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 something that was recognised back in 1979 by Jane Hunter and her late husband Ernie when they planted their first vineyard 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, Hunter’s 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 75,000 cases of wine, nearly 65% of which is exported. Hunter’s Wines have won more than 130 gold medals at national and international wine competitions and is still breaking new ground with new varietals, new wine-making techniques and new branding, consistently keeping the team at Hunter’s seeking the best for its wines.
