We're proud of the significant role sustainability plays in the New Zealand wine industry, and delighted to see this recognised by Wine Spectator alongside recognition of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc's uniqueness and the way it has changed the way consumers around the world consider "zingy white wines". "...more than 96 percent of all vineyards in the country are certified as sustainable. New Zealand’s wine industry aims to become a global leader in the production of low-emission wines (even given the distances they travel to reach consumers), working toward being carbon neutral by 2050."
