Brancott Estate World of WearableArt

Brancott Estate, the pioneers of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, is releasing limited edition bottles to celebrate their support of the World of WearableArt (WOW) exhibition that opens in Townsville, Australia on 29 May 2015.

In New Zealand, Brancott Estate has proudly supported WOW since 1988, and has watched WOW grow to become  one of the world's leading design competitions of its type, attracting entrants and audience members from around the world.

To celebrate the first international exhibition of WOW, Brancott Estate is releasing limited edition bottles for its Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2014 and Marlborough Pinot Noir 2013.

Each bottle features a design from the World of WearableArt show and focuses on the intricate details of the garments they represent, highlighting the elements that reflect the wine they adorn.

'Turangawaewae" by Napier artist Anna von Hartitzsch graces the Brancott Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, while the Brancott Estate Marlborough Pinot Noir features 'Labyrinth" by Anna Maria Gori.

'As the pioneers of wines that defined Marlborough, we understand the passion and commitment required to create a world-first event like WOW" says Patrick Materman, Chief Winemaker for Brancott Estate. 'WOW began with Dame Suzie Moncrieff's vision to take art off the wall to adorn the body and has evolved into a world-renowned event. We are proud to continue to support this innovative event whose vision so closely mirrors our own, as they embark on their journey to bring WOW to the world."

Dame Suzie Moncrieff, Founder of WOW, says "This limited edition wine range from Brancott Estate is such a beautiful outworking of creativity and innovation. Our special relationship and the depth of feeling shared between WOW and Brancott Estate is captured with each bottle."

The Brancott Estate Limited Edition WOW Series will be available Australia-wide for a limited time only from April 2015, at a recommended retail price of $17.99.

Brancott Estate Honouring our Marlborough heritage, Brancott Estate wines take their name from our cherished Brancott Vineyard, home of the original Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc; one of the world's favourite New Zealand wine styles. In 1973, Brancott Vineyard was planted with grapes, a decision that went against the popular opinion of the time that the South Island was too cold to grow grapes. In 1975, Brancott Vineyard was planted with the first Sauvignon Blanc grapes in Marlborough. This pioneering determination and skill of our winemakers and viticulturists continues to be evident in every bottle, as is the care and respect for the land that allow us to produce each and every one. Brancott Estate wines are sourced from multiple vineyards.

Brancott Estate is committed to sustainable practices and is a founding member of New Zealand's original sustainable winegrowing initiative established in 1995. This programme has since transformed into Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ). All vineyards and wineries are accredited under the scheme.
