The alcohol content of Wairau River wines typically ranges between 12% and 14%, depending on the varietal. These wines pair beautifully with a variety of dishes, from seafood and salads to poultry and lighter fare. Wairau River's focus on sustainable practices, meticulous vineyard management, and traditional winemaking techniques has earned it a reputation for producing consistently high-quality, expressive wines that reflect the best of New Zealand's Marlborough region.
