The story behind it

The maker

Oyster Bay captured the world's attention by winning the Best Sauvignon Blanc in the world at the 1991 International Wine and Spirit Competition. Since then, the family-owned winery has dedicated itself to capturing the unique cool-climate intensity of New Zealand in every bottle.

How it is made

Sourced from the prestigious Hawke's Bay region, one of New Zealand's oldest and sunniest wine-producing areas. The maritime climate and alluvial soils provide the perfect conditions for ripening Merlot grapes with intense varietal character.
