Your Choice of Wine Supplier Could Make or Break Your Brand

A Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc looks good in any portfolio, but finding someone you can trust to make your wine all the way over in New Zealand—on the edge of the world—is going to take a leap of faith. It’s a choice you’ll want to get right.

In Sauvignon Blanc, No Shelf Space is Secure

If you’ve ever dealt with a supply gap or quality issues from a less-than-reliable supplier, you know how quickly your hard-earned shelf space can disappear. One missed delivery and someone else’s bottle is in your place.

image

You Should Never Put Your Name on Average

Your brand label is your reputation, and every time a supplier hands you average wine, that reputation takes a hit. You’ve put in the work to build buyer trust—don’t let the wrong supplier tank it.

image

Bulk Wine Shouldn’t Come From the Bottom of the Barrel

Too many suppliers treat bulk wine as an afterthought, saving the best for themselves and passing off the leftovers. But your customers deserve more. Wine worth drinking at a fair price—that’s not too much to ask.

We Know the Heart It Takes to Build a Wine Brand

We understand that adding a new wine to your portfolio or choosing a new winery partner isn’t a decision you make lightly.

You know that building a strong wine portfolio is about more than just having the right wines—it’s about cultivating relationships and creating value for your clients by bringing them wines that sell.

We’ve been there. Before the pandemic, we were building our own family brand, Hillersden, and it was painful to let it go because we took real pride in the wines we were making. But managing both distribution and winemaking became too much. So we kept the name Hillersden and chose to shift our focus entirely to supporting high-quality, large-volume private label clients like you. Now, with no label of our own, we’re fully dedicated to helping you succeed with yours.

Your Sauvignon Blanc Brand Just Found Their Supplier

Hillersden Winery supplies quality Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, ready for you to bottle under your own label.

Change the Bulk Wine Narrative with a Wine You’re Proud to Sell

Bulk wines often carry a reputation for being of average quality, but not your brand. Offering bulk wine should never mean sacrificing quality or pride—instead, it’s about delivering affordable wine that people love to drink. Yours will be a wine you can proudly stand behind.

The Best Wines Start with a Pre-Vintage Plan

Harvest in Marlborough typically begins as early as March. By establishing a contract before harvest, you gain significant advantages.

The Best Way to Ensure Volume

Have a contract in place before harvest. This allows us to make the vineyard decisions that will best serve your brand, and allocate our resources to fulfil your needs.

image

Lock In Prices Before the Market Shifts

Agreeing on prices before harvest helps you avoid post-harvest market fluctuations, often influenced by regional factors like weather and harvest yields. This approach protects your margins and allows you to keep prices consistent for your customers.

image

The Only Way to Meet Complicated Regulations

If your region has specific compliance requirements, those requirements will often affect the vineyard too. A pre-harvest contract gives us time to plan and easily accommodate your specifications.
