HUNTER'S

Hunter's Wines in Marlborough, New Zealand has a reputation for consistently producing the highest quality wines year after year and Jane Hunter is the driving force behind its ongoing success and in 1995 Hunter's Wines was one of the first wineries to achieve ISO accreditation. A fiercely independent, family-owned winery, Hunter's Wines was the combined dream of Ernie and Jane Hunter. It was the inspired foresight of the ever-enthusiastic Ernie, New Zealand’s 'unofficial wine ambassador', which recognised the vast potential of Marlborough as a premier wine-growing region. However, only five years after producing his first six award winning wines (in fact, the first six Hunter's Wines to emerge), he was tragically killed in a motor accident at the age of 37. In the aftershock of this, Jane, herself a highly qualified viticulturist with a long family history of Australian grape growing, resolved to build on the vineyard's proven potential.
