Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Poppies known for?
Poppies is particularly known for its Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris, all of which are crafted to highlight elegance, balance, and site expression. The Pinot Noir is a flagship variety, offering vibrant red cherry, floral aromas, and earthy undertones, supported by refined tannins and integrated oak. Their Sauvignon Blanc is aromatic and fresh, avoiding overblown tropical notes and instead focusing on citrus, minerality, and crisp acidity. Pinot Gris from Poppies offers a rich texture, balanced by a clean finish and subtle spice. These wines are often described as having purity and restraint, distinguishing them from more commercial examples. Additionally, their Rosé, made from Pinot Noir, is dry, pale, and highly food-friendly. The portfolio is unified by a philosophy of minimal intervention and a deep respect for the vineyard, ensuring that each wine tells the story of its vintage and place.

Where are Poppies wines made?
Poppies wines are made in Martinborough, located at the southern tip of New Zealand’s North Island. This region is part of the Wairarapa wine area and is widely recognised for its ability to produce cool-climate varietals with finesse and aromatic intensity. Martinborough’s terroir is defined by its free-draining alluvial soils, low rainfall, and long sunshine hours, which allow grapes to ripen slowly and retain natural acidity. Poppies is a boutique estate where all fruit is grown and harvested by hand, and the winemaking is handled onsite with a hands-on, artisanal approach. The winery benefits from a small vineyard that receives meticulous attention throughout the growing season, allowing for consistently high-quality fruit. Martinborough’s climate and soil structure are particularly suited to Pinot Noir and aromatic whites, and Poppies leverages these conditions to craft wines of elegance and integrity.

What are the best Poppies wines?
Among the most highly regarded Poppies wines is their Pinot Noir, which is often considered the flagship of the range. It consistently impresses with its vibrant fruit character, fine tannins, and earthy complexity. This wine shows the hallmark of great Martinborough Pinot—delicacy with depth, offering red cherry, rose petal, and a hint of spice. The Sauvignon Blanc is another standout, celebrated for its restrained style that favours citrus and minerality over overt tropical fruit. It’s a wine that appeals to those who appreciate structure and balance over punchiness. The Pinot Gris also garners praise for its texture and elegance, showing pear, honeyed notes, and a fine acid line. Poppies Rosé, made from Pinot Noir, is often a customer favourite, thanks to its dry, savoury style and bright freshness. Each of these wines represents the care, craft, and clarity of vision that defines Poppies.

Are Poppies wines affordable?
Poppies wines are positioned as premium boutique offerings, reflecting both the limited production and the artisanal nature of their winemaking. While they are not inexpensive, they deliver excellent value when considering their origin, quality, and hands-on production methods. Prices generally sit within the mid-to-premium range for New Zealand wines, making them accessible for special occasions or as thoughtful gifts. The care taken in the vineyard and the minimalist approach in the winery results in wines that are expressive, balanced, and age-worthy, particularly the Pinot Noir. For those seeking quality over quantity, Poppies wines are a worthwhile investment. They offer a level of detail and personality not always found in larger-production wines, making them a rewarding choice for discerning drinkers who appreciate the character of small-batch, terroir-driven wine.
