Why Wine Exports Need Expert Documentation

New Zealand's wine industry has earned a global reputation — but getting your vintage into international markets requires navigating VI-1 certification , label compliance across different jurisdictions (EU, US TTB, UK), and temperature-controlled logistics . Finding the right international distributors and managing the trade documentation for each market adds further complexity.

Libretto manages the entire export journey — from sourcing verified importers and distributors, through VI-1 certification and label compliance, to coordinating temperature-controlled freight. Whether you're an established winery expanding into new markets or a boutique producer making your first export shipment, we handle the complexity so you can focus on your craft.
