Foxes Island - Marlborough
Foxes Island Wines is a family owned wine company producing small quantities of premium sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot noir from the very heart of the renowned Marlborough, New Zealand winegrowing region.
Owner and Winemaker John Belsham is a perfectionist and his wines reflect the passion with which he practices his craft. The philosophy behind Foxes Island Wines is one of quality and the pursuit of complexity in fine wine style. Consequently, each release is of very limited production.
