Current Release Wines
Montana Wines' passion for excellence often leads to groundbreaking ventures.
The New Zealand wine industry was still in its infancy in 1934, when Yugoslavian immigrant Ivan Yukich planted his first vineyard. He called it Montana, meaning mountain, after its location in the Waitakere Ranges west of Auckland. Thirty years later his two sons used the same name when they founded their wine company and started producing what soon became the trendsetting wines in New Zealand.
Looking for a greater grape resource, Montana Wines played a key role in the development of Gisborne, on the eastern tip of the North Island, as a premium winemaking region. This coincided with a concerted effort to increase the quality of the wines produced.
In 1973 Montana took the bold step of planting the first commercial vineyard in the traditional sheep-farming region of Marlborough, on the Northeast corner of the South Island. It proved to be an inspired choice, as was Montana's decision to grow Sauvignon Blanc. Marlborough has since become New Zealand's main viticultural region, with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc undoubtedly the country's signature wine on the international market.
Montana also entered the Hawke's Bay viticulture region when the company bought the historic Church Road winery near Napier, some 200 km south of Gisborne on the east coast of the North Island. At this small winery, Montana is pushing the boundaries to create exquisite boutique wines.
With vineyards and wineries in all three major grape-growing areas of New Zealand, Montana produces an extensive range of premium still wines.
