No.1 Family Estate in New Zealand

Established in 1997, No.1 Family Estate is a boutique family-owned winery dedicated to crafting world-class Marlborough méthode traditionelle wines.

Nestled in the heart of the Wairau Valley, Marlborough’s unique climate is ideal for producing world-class méthode traditionelle wines.

Celebrating generations of winemaking expertise, owner and winemaker, Daniel Le Brun crafts his wines using the same traditional method perfected by his family in Champagne over 12 generations.

No.1 Family Estate honours tradition, quality, and the pursuit of perfection in every bottle. Cuvée No.1 Blanc de Blancs NV was the very first No.1 méthode traditionelle released in 1999, and it remains their most recognised expression of Marlborough méthode traditionelle to this day.

Inspired by the rich Champagne heritage of the Le Brun family, No.1 Family Estate is where tradition and innovation come together to create sparkling wines of elegance and finesse.

As the only méthode traditionelle exclusive winery and cellar door in Marlborough, their wine tasting experience is truly unique in the region and reflects Daniel’s French heritage.

Discover their intimate, boutique tasting room, where their passionate team will guide you through the art of crafting sparkling wine in the traditional method. Enjoy a tasting of our non-vintage range, with the option to upgrade to their Reserve selection.
