The label for these tasty bottlings is pure kiwi. Box O’ Birds is a New Zealand colloquialism that is spoken in answer to the daily question “How are you?” Its meaning signifies that the speaker is cheerful, happy, and in good health. This is a classic, racy Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough; bright and zesty on the nose, and lively acidity on the palate. Practically perfect and easy to enjoy with many cuisines.

The growers at Box o' Birds use organic mulch to help conserve water and reduce pesticides into the aquifer, and in winter they grow cover crops that are then cultivated into the soil to replace valuable nitrates that the vines take out during the growing season. In the winery, Box o’ Birds not only has a full recycling program, but they also use recycled cardboard for all their packing and the maximum amount of recycled glass in their bottles while still maintaining the bottles integrity. On top of this, they are also reducing their CO2 emissions by recycling fermentation-produced CO2 to purge empty tanks.

The label for these tasty bottlings is pure “kiwi”. Box O’ Birds is a New Zealand colloquialism that is spoken in answer to the daily question “How are you?” Its meaning signifies that the speaker is cheerful, happy, and in good health, the feeling that they hope each sip will bring. Enjoy.

Surprising to many, the now famous wine region of Marlborough on the South Island of New Zealand didn't have a commercial vineyard until 1973. Now, Marlborough produces some of the best Sauvignon Blanc's and Pinot Noir's in the world, and is by far the most prestigious wine growing districts in the country. With almost 40% of the entire country's vineyards planted, the distinctive cool climates give the winemakers the capability of making wines with real elegance.
