A story of rule breakers and change makers

3sixty2 is a number that marks a new start for New Zealand wine. It’s a number that represents tenacity, courage and staying true to yourself. It’s about changing the rules. And it’s about honouring your nature no matter what. Because in today's world, standing up for what's right has never been more important.

For me, this is sustainability. Pushing boundaries to do better, faster. We have no time to spare. Climate change is inevitably changing the way we make our wines and our ocean is filling up with unwanted plastics. That has simply got to stop. It is my promise to focus on finding a better way to do things.

3sixty2 has become New Zealand's first wine producer to introduce carbon offsets with CarbonClick- an agile kiwi company that’s changing the way businesses can deliver better climate outcomes. Look out for the little green button at the checkout.

Nature means the world to us

We’re not here to blend in

We match Swandris with sequins. We choose integrity over easy. We believe heart is a better measure of value than heritage. We think progress and change is more important than following the rules. That means we make wine not only true to nature - but true to our own: who we are, where we’re from and what we believe in. The result of standing true to what matters to us, is to bring you a wine that stands out from the rest.

"91/100. The first commercial release of this wine. 5% barrel-fermented with lengthy maturation in oak. Rich, textural sauvignon with toast, nutty lees and ginger flavours occupying centre stage with guava, grapefruit and passion in the background."

Bob Campbell MW- The Real Review

"Crafted by exciting young winemaker Alice Rule, this is classic Marlborough Sauvignon with a winning twist and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Lovely notes of lemongrass, bashed basil,  and jalapeño burst out of the glass..." 

Yvonne Lorkin - Winefriend

You know a wine is good... like really good when you start speaking to it! And that's exactly what I did with my first sip.. "oh my god you're beautiful". 

Rebecca Hartley-Smith

"Alice is one of thee most genuine, high energy and passionate people you'll ever meet. She brings fantastic wine with integrity to the table and is quite clearly a producer to be valued. Great morals, great wine."

Wine Reviews

"Looking for something that can fire you up about a variety where you think you have tasted it all? Rich with tropical fruit, round without being cloying, lean where it gives depth. This is a wine that should be tried to get you back into Sauvignon."

This isn’t just another bottle.

It’s a story, rooted in heritage, inspired by the possibilities, and driven by fresh thinking. 

To discover our story for yourself, you won’t find us on grocery shelves. You’ll find us in the places where real customer connections are made, where memories take shape over restaurant tables, and where people with a passion like ours want to share it with people like you.

Producing less than 4500 bottles a year, we think big, without losing the beauty and prestige that comes with staying small.

The level of craft behind 3sixty2 extends long beyond the wine itself. These beautiful, testing, proud moments have been captured by Ryan McCauley to illustrate our journey to share with you the memories we make each vintage. Check out his work, he is a good bugger and a very special part of the 3sixty2 team.
