Bordeaux & Blends

Bordeaux blends combine two or more classic grape varieties. Winemakers most often use Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc together to build structure and complexity. If you’re looking to buy Bordeaux blend wine online in NZ, this range spans Waiheke Island‘s boutique estates. It also includes international examples from Spain, Australia, and beyond.

Explore Bordeaux and blends

You’ll find Bordeaux blends from Te Motu on Waiheke Island and Cullen in Margaret River. Finca Bacara and Gil Family Estates add Spanish examples. Puriri Hills contributes a genuinely local option, grown just outside Auckland. Many overlap with our Big Reds range too, worth exploring if you enjoy structured, full-bodied styles.

For a Bordeaux-style blend, compare the named grape varieties and their proportions where these are provided. If you are seeking a wine from Bordeaux itself, check the stated origin on the individual product page. Then use the tasting notes to compare body, tannin and oak. Consider the producer, vintage and bottle size alongside the current price. If you are choosing a wine to drink soon or keep, look for drinking advice for that exact bottle rather than treating all blends as interchangeable.
