New Zealand wines available abroad is dominated by large, internationally well-known wine companies (you will probably recognise their names). But there are also smaller family-owned producers. Here are some of the ones we recommend. And it’s not just sauvignon blanc and pinot noir. Go for the producer if you can’t find this particular wine.

Perhaps this can also serve as an inspiration to organise a New Zealand wine tasting? (To explain the perhaps random-looking selection of wines, this is essentially what is available in Sweden from smaller NZ producers.)
