The name Zephyr characterises the prevailing wind that complements Marlborough’s unique ripening season. Zephyr wines embrace the dynamic spirit of the Glover family and the lively aromatics of the estate vineyards. The Glover family vineyards, planted in 1985 alongside the meandering Opawa River, have inspired the family’s passion for wine.

'If I had to choose just one Kiwi Sauvignon at the moment, it would be the harmonious, beautifully balanced, Zephyr Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough."

Tim Atkin, The Observer, 16th March 2008.

Oz Clarke selects 2010 Zephyr Sauvignon Blanc as one of "Five Christmas classics to see in the festive season"
Selected from his book Oz Clarke 250 Best Wines 2012, here's what he had to say:

The "Five Christmas classics" are here.

Four star review in Cuisine
**** ZEPHYR SAVIGNON BLANC 2010
The panel was blown away by this not-so-gentle zephyr. Full and rich, it delivers bright leafy, citrus and tropical-fruit notes and a strong textural presence. A rich seafood risotto would be a good match.
