Foxes Island
Foxes Island produces wines from Marlborough, New Zealand's premier cool-climate region on the South Island. The winery's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay anchor its portfolio, both drawing strength from the region's diurnal temperature swings and mineral-rich soils. The Belsham Awatere Estate Sur Lie Aged Sauvignon Blanc—made from grapes grown in the Awatere subregion—shows the textural depth that extended lees contact can impart to Marlborough's signature variety. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. Marlborough's cool nights and long growing season create the conditions for high-acid whites and elegant reds, characteristics evident across Foxes Island's core range.
