There are few wine regions in the world that have captured global attention quite like Marlborough, New Zealand — and few wines represent the region better than Pounamu.

Now available in Malta through Hansa Wines & Spirits, the Pounamu range brings together freshness, purity, and the vibrant character that has made New Zealand wines some of the most sought-after wines worldwide.

The wines are crafted with a strong focus on quality and regional expression, delivering crisp, fruit-driven styles that are perfect for Malta’s climate and Mediterranean lifestyle.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at Its Best

Whether enjoyed as an aperitif, paired with seafood, sushi, salads, or light Mediterranean dishes, this wine offers incredible versatility and freshness.

Elegant Pinot Noir & More

Beyond Sauvignon Blanc, the Pounamu range also showcases elegant New Zealand Pinot Noir expressions with soft tannins, juicy red berry fruit, and subtle spice notes. These wines offer excellent balance and drinkability while still maintaining complexity and character.

The range is designed for wine lovers who appreciate modern, approachable wines with premium quality and consistency.
