You Can’t Afford to Get It Wrong from Half a World Away

Sourcing wine or winemaking services is hard enough. Doing it from across the globe? Even harder. You’re not just choosing a wine — you’re choosing a partner who reflects your reputation, your standards, and your brand. You want someone you trust.

While a great Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc can perform well in any portfolio in today’s market, where it comes from matters more than ever — and there’s a lot working against you if you get it wrong.

In Sauvignon Blanc, No Shelf Space is Secure

When supply runs short or shipments miss their window, your brand takes the hit. Shelf space disappears, contracts fall through, and customer trust erodes.

You Don’t Put Your Name On Average

Your label is your reputation. You’ve put in the work to build buyer trust — don’t let the wrong supplier tank it.

Bulk Wine Shouldn’t Mean Bottom Shelf

Too many suppliers save the best for themselves and pass off the leftovers. Bulk wine shouldn’t be an afterthought — and wine worth drinking at a fair price shouldn’t be a big ask.
