ABOUT NEW ZEALAND WINE

DISCOVER SUSTAINABILITY

Although the purity of flavour you encounter in New Zealand wine may be so extraordinary as to seem magical, in truth it owes much to the industry’s focus on protecting the environment in which the fruit is grown. Our world-leading initiative, Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ), promotes best practice in water usage, energy consumption, waste management and biodiversity. Over 80% of New Zealand vineyards and 75% of wineries are enrolled in the programme. The industry goal is for 100% of our wine to be produced under SWNZ or other accredited sustainable, organic or biodynamic programmes by 2012.
