At Negociants New Zealand, we love Pinot Noir. We love the variety so much, that we decided to publish The Pinot Noir Handbook, detailing all the producer wineries, winemakers and the Pinot Noirs that Negociants is so proud to represent.

These are excellent examples of New Zealand Pinot Noirs at their best and The Pinot Noir Handbook takes you with us, on our Pinot journey from the Wairarapa, to Marlborough to Canterbury and into Central Otago.

Pinot Noir is now the largest selling red wine variety in New Zealand, so the notion of compiling an up to date record of the Pinots in our portfolio makes good business sense.

• A good number of our On Trade customers are rolling over to their new summer season wine lists. The Pinot Noir category is also expanding in the Off Trade.
• We are all on the cusp of the biggest trading quarter of the year, so let’s capitalise on Pinot Noir’s popularity.
• Pinot Noir will be getting a significant amount of media air, print and social media exposure in the coming months, as the Pinot Noir 2017 celebration and conference in Wellington approaches – it runs 31st Jan – 2nd Feb 2017.
