Hunters Riesling Marlborough

New Zealand winemaking boasts an impressive track record. Less than 40 years ago, New Zealand wine was practically unheard of; even the most discerning wine connoisseurs weren't impressed by it. However, the wine industry made significant strides after New Zealand wines were introduced internationally in the mid-1980s. Hunters Winery was one of the first to release wines to the European market. Their pioneering role in the 1980s continues to produce high-quality wines today.
