Negociants New Zealand: Leading Fine Wine Distribution with Integrity and Passion

Negociants New Zealand is a premier distributor of fine wine, proudly connecting world-class producers with discerning retailers, restaurants, and wine lovers across Aotearoa. Since our establishment in 1985, we have remained committed to delivering wines of provenance, character, and integrity — and to nurturing enduring relationships across the New Zealand wine and hospitality industries.

Our diverse and carefully curated range of products showcases a blend of iconic international estates and leading New Zealand wineries, each selected for their excellence in quality, sustainability, and authenticity. From the legendary vineyards of Europe and Australia to the innovation of local producers, our collection reflects our passion for storytelling through wine. This exceptional portfolio is supported and enhanced by a considered alignment with luxury spirits, Antipodes Pure Artesian Water and Riedel glassware.

At the heart of our success is a team of experienced professionals who bring deep knowledge, market insight, and genuine enthusiasm to every partnership. Whether it’s providing tailored support to On-premise venues, offering educational resources to trade clients, or championing new releases with strategic marketing, we strive to add value at every level of engagement.

Negociants New Zealand is a proud member of the Hill-Smith Family Estates, an Australian family-owned group with a long and respected history in the wine industry. This heritage strengthens our values of trust, consistency, and long-term vision.

As consumer tastes evolve and the landscape of wine continues to grow more dynamic, Negociants New Zealand remains focused on delivering exceptional experiences, building strong brands, and supporting a thriving, sustainable wine culture.

After 40 years in business, we are more than a distributor — we are partners in elevating the wine journey across New Zealand.
