Founded in 1992 by French-trained, winemaker John Belsham, and one of the world's first flying winemakers, Belsham set out to make the best, single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in New Zealand; a novel concept at the time.
30 years on, Foxes Island offers the most extensive collection of cellar-aged, single vineyard wines on release in New Zealand. We craft our wines as gently as possible and as nature intended; with science, innovation and time, we will continue to do so. We believe wine is to be shared, to bring people together, foster community and celebrate inclusivity and diversity.
"A sauvignon that has been aged on the yeast lees to add extra texture and complexity. Its an impressive wine with power, purity and citrus, lime zest, oyster shell, mineral and a very subtle nutty lees character. The perfect wine with freshly shucked oysters seasoned with a squeeze of lime." - Bob Campbell, MW - 95 pts
