The Number '8' – A Story of Elegance and Infinity
Introducing The Number ‘8’, a Sauvignon Blanc created to reflect the harmony, beauty and connection of New Zealand. This 2019 Marlborough vintage is more than a wine. It is a meeting of land, craft and intention.
Sourced from New Zealand’s most celebrated Sauvignon Blanc region, Marlborough’s sunlit vineyards and cooling sea breezes shape its vibrant character. Notes of fresh gooseberry and zesty grapefruit capture the purity of the landscape, while its luminous green hue mirrors the rolling vines and coastal waters that define the region.
Created by Wines of NZ and designed alongside Master Sommelier Cameron Douglas, with French winemaker Renan Theiloux guiding the craft, The Number ‘8’ is crisp, precise and quietly complex.
The symbol itself carries meaning. Universally recognised as infinity, it speaks of balance, prosperity and endless possibility. Its form echoes the shape of New Zealand, the North and South Islands connected as one. This wine is a tribute to that unity.
With only 550 bottles produced, The Number ‘8’ is rare and considered. Each bottle tells a story of place, purpose and refined New Zealand excellence.
