Neck of the woods

Words for the wild

The people behind New Zealand wine company Neck of the Woods don’t come from a long line of traditional wine makers. There’s no family run estate, no strict processes or rules handed down through generations. Because they’re not confined by a particular site, they’re free to seek out the best fruit and connect specialist growers with award-winning wine makers — then let them do their thing.

Every wine they make has a distinct, bold character all of its own. And they match each wine to a fearless, groundbreaking figure in history that reflects their pioneering spirit. From a kiwi customs agent with an eye for deception to a swashbuckling runaway nun — nothing is off-limits when it comes to sharing their stories. Language is bold, direct and uncompromising to reflect the spirit of the characters, the wine and the brand itself.
