Čuvar Iris Collection 2026

A fresh expression of Hawke’s Bay is now available in the 2026 Čuvar Iris Collection.

Family Winemakers since 1949, Čuvar Winery carries more than 75 years of Fistonich family winemaking heritage into a new generation, with a focus firmly on Hawke’s Bay.

The newly released 2026 Čuvar Iris Collection captures that philosophy in three vibrant new-season wines: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Rosé, all grown and made in Hawke’s Bay.

Named for Croatia’s national flower, the Iris Collection connects the Fistonich family’s Croatian heritage with its future in New Zealand wine.

Fresh, contemporary and made for enjoyment, the 2026 wines showcase the purity and character of Hawke’s Bay fruit.

2026 Čuvar Sauvignon Blanc: Bright, fresh and expressive, with vibrant fruit and a crisp, refreshing finish.

2026 Čuvar Pinot Gris: Generous and beautifully balanced, with ripe fruit, freshness and an easy, elegant texture.

2026 Čuvar Rosé: Fresh and delicately aromatic, with bright fruit, subtle florals and a dry, refreshing finish.

Another Hendrick’s arrives in NZ

There’s a whimsical new addition to the Hendrick’s range in New Zealand: Another Hendrick’s is a spirit inspired by Hendrick’s Master Distiller Lesley Gracie’s love for chocolate and flowers.

Presented in a striking white bottle, Another Hendrick’s is the first new permanent addition to the Hendrick’s line-up in nine years. In addition to the signature infusion of rose and cucumber, the new gin is also layered with bright, light orange blossom and decadent, silky-smooth cacao beans.

“Another Hendrick’s is the complete opposite of what we’ve been doing for the past 25 years, and the delectable combination of orange blossom and cacao beans is really rather unusual,” says Lesley Gracie, Hendrick’s Master Distiller.

“As a spirit with endless possibilities, I wanted to find a way to combine two of my favourite things in a way that felt authentic to Hendrick’s. After experimenting with different elements from the Hendrick’s Gin Palace’s tropical greenhouse, I discovered this brilliant profile featuring a depth of flavour, hint of sweetness and lift of freshness that is completely distinctive.”

Another Hendrick’s 700ml RRP $89.99.

Bold new look for Leftfield

New Zealand wine brand Leftfield has a bold new look designed to help it stand out in an increasingly crowded wine category and to connect with a new generation of wine drinkers.

At the heart of the new identity is the Flying Fish – Leftfield’s symbol of doing things a little differently – representing creativity, momentum, exploration and the confidence to take an unexpected path.

Moving to a single hero symbol strengthens consistency across the range and creates a more recognisable brand asset. The new packaging was created to break through category sameness and deliver stronger shelf standout for Leftfield’s vibrant, expressive and contemporary take on New Zealand wine.

“Leftfield’s new visual identity brings greater impact, consistency and recognition,” says Indevin Senior Brand Manager, Annemarie Goldsmith.

“For consumers who enjoy wine but aren’t necessarily experts, packaging plays an important role in creating confidence, signalling quality and making the bottle easier to choose.

“Leftfield’s refresh was designed to better connect with these drinkers while staying true to existing fans.”
