The Better Half
Just Got Better
THE BETTER HALF WINES ARE A TONGUE-IN-CHEEK REFERENCE TO THE FRIENDLY RIVALRY BETWEEN HUSBAND-AND-WIFE WINEMAKERS – GEORGE AND JULES.
BASED IN MARLBOROUGH AT THE TOP OF NEW ZEALAND’S SOUTH ISLAND; THE EDGE OF THE EARTH AND HOME TO DREAMERS, PIONEERS, AND ADVENTURERS.
THE BETTER HALF WINES ARE A TRIBUTE TO ALL THOSE COUPLES WHO DARE TO DREAM BIG AND FLY HIGH.
The Better Half Wines
The Better Half Sauvignon Blanc 2021
A bold, dashing Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with loads of citrus and tropical flavours and plenty of pizzazz.
Varietal, fresh, very fruity and lively with flavours of fresh citrus and white peach, fleshy almost sweet tree fruits, fresh herb with basil and sage suggestions. On the palate – super clean, fresh and fruity with some fresh herb layers, pristine acid line balanced even finish.

The Better Half Pinot Noir 2021
A dynamic, fruity Pinot Noir with juicy cherry and plum flavours, a hint of spice and a cheeky grin.
Classic Marlborough expression with aromas and flavours of dark cherry and doris plums, there’s a gentle savoury spice with fine baking spice and wood scents of vanilla and clove. Plush, fruity and dry on the palate with moderately firm tannins and plenty of acidity setting a decent foundation for core fruit flavours. Dry on the finish with plenty of pinosity and charm.
