"Lychee, Pear and Ginger characters...Excellent wine that is full of punch and finishes off dry."
Hunter’s Gewurztraminer
- One of Marlborough's first labels to make it big on the international scene
- Family owned, operated and headed by the closest thing we've got to NZ wine royalty - Jane Hunter (CNZM, OBE)
- "Lychee, Pear and Ginger characters...Excellent wine that is full of punch and finishes off dry."
If Marlborough wine put NZ on the world wine map then Hunter’s did their fair share to help.
Their first vintage was in 1982. They won six awards, not a bad start right? Then international ears pricked up when a New Zealand wine (Hunter’s Sauvy) won the top award at the Sunday Times Wine Festival in London in 1986. Then again in 1987. And 1988. And 1992. And 2001!
Wind the clock forward to 2018 and they’re still family owned and operated and headed by Jane Hunter. Jane’s the closest thing to NZ wine royalty (which is why they call her “The First Lady” of NZ wine) and with an OBE, a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) for services to viticulture and a recipient of the prestigious UK Women in Wine award – you can see why.
Not much has changed since ’82 – Hunter’s are still producing A-grade wine! This is their 2023 release Gewurz and in their own words – “Lychee, Pear and Ginger characters…Excellent wine that is full of punch and finishes off dry.”
