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 captivating bouquet of complexity and bottle-development, ripe citrus and tropical fruits, a lees and mineral core. Fragrant with fresh herbs and fruit spice, some mineral and ferment complexities. A satin texture touches the palate first then acidity drives through flavours of lemon peel and apple, pineapple and fresh herbs. The lees and ferment characters layer in complexity and spice, length and breadth. A delicious wine with texture, mouthfeel and flavour, varietal qualities with an herbaceous layer and tropical fruit frame. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027.
