Wine from New Zealand & Australia – Elegance and power from the new world

Welcome to our category for wines from New Zealand and Australia – two wine countries that are currently playing at the forefront of the international wine scene. Here you will find everything from crisp and aromatic Sauvignon Blancs to powerful, sun-ripened Shiraz. We have handpicked bottles with character, quality and typicity – and exclusively from producers we trust.

New Zealand – crispness, purity and freshness

New Zealand is particularly known for its Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough , which has made the country world-renowned for its intense nose and vibrant acidity. But it doesn't stop there – the country also produces impressive Pinot Noir, Riesling, Albariño and Chardonnay , particularly from areas such as Central Otago, Waipara and Hawke's Bay.

New Zealand wine is characterized by:

• Freshness and high acidity
• Aromatic intensity and clear fruit
• Focus on sustainability and terroir

Australia – warmth, depth and modernity

Australia has reinvented itself. Where the country was once associated with strong, uniform wines, today you’ll find refined and balanced bottles from both large and small producers. From the rich Shiraz of the Barossa Valley and the elegant Cabernet of Coonawarra to the fresh Chardonnay of the Adelaide Hills and Semillon of the Hunter Valley – Australia has something for everyone.

Australian wine offers:

• Ripe, dark fruit notes
• Spice, structure and often oak
• Good balance between power and finesse
