Nelson

Nelson is located on the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, adjacent to Marlborough. Though it may be lesser known than its neighbor, this small region has a stunning reputation for high-quality Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir. Protected on three sides by mountain ranges, "Sunny Nelson" benefits from the brightest weather on the South Island—clear skies are complemented by cooling breezes from Tasman Bay, creating the perfect climate for viticulture.
