The wine is destined for high-end restaurants and premium hotel chains throughout the country.
Company managing director Allan Scott says the export agreement is ‘a major coup’ for the winery, which has been able to capitalise on the burgeoning interest in white wines in China.
Scott says the initial shipment will include the company’s sauvignon blanc chardonnay, pinot noir and method traditionnelle.
“In the past, China has shown more interest in red varietals, so we are very excited to see how receptive they are to our New Zealand white wines, which are highly regarded globally,” he said.
