Qantas is Flying High!
Next time that you are flying between
Australia and New Zealand you will be able to
sample our Ra Nui Sauvignon Blanc. Qantas
generally prefers to serve Australian wine (of
course) but recognises that the Sauvignon
Blanc coming out of Marlborough is the best
in the World. Qantas is particularly fussy on
what they will serve on their Business and
First class – so we are stoked. "Cheers Qantas
passengers – enjoy!!"

Ra Nui Sauvignon Blanc 2006 has won TOP 100 status and a Blue-Gold Award at the 2007 Sydney International Wine Competition.
The Sydney International Wine Competition is unlike any other major international competition because the top wines from an initial judging process are then judged against appropriate food for the wine style. Wines that succeed with the food tend to be harmonious, better balanced wines. Only wines that succeed with the food can achieve a Blue-Gold Award.
The added distinction of Top 100 status implies that the
Ra Nui Sauvignon Blanc 2006 was one of the 100 highest pointed wines of the competition when judged alongside the food.
The food match for the Sauvignon Blanc class was
Goat Cheese Tartlets with Speck and Spinach
