From your favourite restaurant or homemade, your next pie needs a glass of wine.
Italian wine made from Sangiovese, Barbera, and other indigenous grapes would be ideal to pair with pizza — but honestly, whatever you like best works, too. We’ve put together a small list of our favourite pizza wines because on a weekly basis, you’ll find someone around our shop asking “what do I pair with pizza tonight?!”
First established in 1993 by Bryan and Jan Johnson in Marlborough, the couple started with 153ha and have since grown to 162ha+ across the region. Producing their first vintage under the Spy Valley label in 2000, the winery is still 100% family-owned, something of a rarity in New Zealand today. The winery sits just up the road from the Waihopai Station, a secure communication facility run by the New Zealand government- inspiring the name Spy Valley and its other label, Satellite.
The primary focus lies with Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, two classic varietals found all over the country. However, the team at Spy Valley has a passion for aromatic wines and also grows/produces wines from the following grapes: Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Syrah, and Malbec. With 150,000+ cases annually, both the winery and vineyards are certified sustainable by the New Zealand Winegrowing program.
Perfect for everyday entertaining, weddings or large functions. The 1 litre format = a few extra glasses from each bottle. Our best selling wine doesn’t disappoint.
