EXCITING NEWS FROM INVIVO! 🎉 We’re delighted to welcome our long-time wine partner and Invivo shareholder, Graham Norton, to New Zealand - the home of his very own range of GN wines and spirits in March-April 2025. This co-incides with the twelfth harvest of GN New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Graham will embark on a three-city tour of New Zealand with his show "An Evening with Graham Norton", entertaining Kiwis across the country with his unforgettable stories and sharp wit, sharing his favourite laugh out-loud moments and tales from behind the scenes of his legendary sofa chats with the world’s biggest TV and film stars. Graham says: “I believe New Zealand produces some of the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc, and my long-term partnership with Invivo has stood the test of time. I’m looking forward to enjoying a glass of my very own GN New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand with Tim and Rob!” Tim Lightbourne says “We’re incredibly excited to have Graham in New Zealand. His hands-on involvement in the winemaking process, from blending to tasting, makes it so special to have him here.” Rob Cameron comments “Graham brings his personal touch to every bottle. His passion for New Zealand wine is evident in each vintage we blend together.” We can't wait to enjoy a glass of GN's finest with him in NZ! #NZwine EuroVintage

We're excited to launch our third wine in the Invivo X, SJP range this week in the US, in collaboration with our valued partners Taub Family Selections, Wine.com and Total Wine & More! Invivo X, SJP Pinot Noir from New Zealand has been in development for two years, with SJP and Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron blending together their first vintage of New Zealand Pinot Noir in July 2023. While the wine is made with fruit from mostly Marlborough, we added in some fruit from Central Otago too to add some structure, with the wine spending eleven months on oak. Feedback from our customers in the US this week has been phenomenal and we're looking forward to launching in Denmark, Ireland, Canada, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand in the coming months!

Well, this was a VERY welcome shock & surprise! Honoured to be included in Cuisine Magazine’s food and drink list of 2024! Women in Food & Drink New Zealand As I sit with my glass of wine tonight (SJP of course) enjoying reading this special issue, it’s fantastic to see so many amazing women on this list, including my friends and old colleagues Becky Erwood Jane Torrance. I am loving reading about my fellow New Zealand wine women - Jane Cooper Charlotte Read Erica Crawford Alice Rule - who are taking the story of NZ wine to the world and building something special, in an incredibly challenging climate.
