Brancott Estate is a Marlborough, New Zealand winery. In the cellar, the team applies modern methods such as cool fermentation to preserve aromatics and screwcap closures to lock in freshness. These choices emphasize Marlborough’s hallmark tropical fruit notes and a crisp, clean finish across styles.
Vinarchy (owned by Australian Wine Holdco Limited) acquired the brand from Pernod Ricard in 2025.
In 2010, Montana Wines rebranded as Brancott Estate to avoid confusion with the U.S. state of Montana and to create a consistent global identity.
The company began in 1934 as Montana Wines, established by Ivan Yukich in West Auckland. Their son, Frank Yukich, led the expansion into Marlborough in the early 1970s.
They are available in over 50 countries worldwide.
