Aotearoa New Zealand Fine Wine Estates

New Zealand's most exceptional vineyards.

Each with a unique story to tell, linked by the overarching philosophy of pleasure, culture and craft and a dream of our founders Brian Sheth and Steve Smith MW to craft
impeccable wines and inspiring experiences they could share with fine wine
lovers around the world.

Aotearoa New Zealand Fine Wine Estates is the realisation of that dream through three premium wine companies: Smith & Sheth, Pyramid Valley and Lowburn Ferry. Producing wine from four of New Zealand’s main winegrowing regions, Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay, Central Otago and North Canterbury, these wineries all have an ambition of making some of the world’s greatest cool climate Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.

We look forward to sharing the pleasure, culture and craft of our fine wines with you.
