Brancott Estate

Beginning in 1934 as Montana Wines, Brancott Estate™ takes its name from Brancott Vineyard – our original Marlborough vineyard and home. Brancott Estate has grown to become one of the largest wine companies in New Zealand.

New Zealand is part of the New World of Winemaking known for fresh, flavor-packed accessible wines. New Zealand’s single biggest advantage is its cool climate grape-growing conditions. Crisp, fresh and aromatic – this is what New Zealand wines are all about.

The cooler South Island crafts lean, elegant wines with the whites displaying great concentration of citrus fruit character. Within the South Island lies the region of Marlborough, home to Brancott Estate – the most recognizable name in New Zealand grape growing. Marlborough, thanks to Brancott Estate, is synonymous with the world’s most distinctive Sauvignon Blanc. The romance between Sauvignon Blanc and New Zealand began in 1976 when Brancott Estate took a calculated gamble and planted Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough. The result, a delightfully aromatic, herbaceous and crisp wine, which has set a new standard for New World Sauvignon Blanc.

Today, Brancott Estate has a complete range of wines: Classics, Reserves and Letter Series that hail from the regions of Marlborough, Central Otago, Gisborne, Waipara and Hawke’s Bay. Brancott Estate’s winemakers and viticulturist team, led by Chief Winemaker Patrick Materman, ensure they consistently produce intense, flavored wines across all ranges.

“We concentrate on aromatic varieties. These are ideally matched to our cool, maritime climate varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir. These wines are about the purity of flavour and balance of acidity you get from a long, cool growing season. Fruit arrives at the winery with 100% of its potential. What is done in the winery determines how much of that is retained. Put simply, don’t meddle too much in the winery! The underlying philosophy is to preserve fruit expression, but also to create wines with palate interest – great texture and mouth-feel.”— Chief Winemaker, Patrick Materman
