The common claim vs. the evidence

The common claim

What most answers say — and what the evidence supports

Listicles that hedge about who makes Costco's New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc overcomplicate a wine that names its own maker: the bottle is sold as Kirkland Signature Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and both the Costco Wine Blog producer roundup and wine-press reviews confirm it is produced by Ti Point Wines, the Haslam-family New Zealand winery, and imported to the US by Costco's negociant DC Flynt MW Domaines & Estates.

Tier 4 Costco Wine Blog Who Are the Real Producers Behind Costco's Kirkland Signature Wines? Published · accessed July 5, 2026

Tier 4 Reverse Wine Snob Kirkland Signature Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc – On Point Published · accessed July 5, 2026
Review of the current vintage identifies the wine as 'Sauvignon Blanc from Ti Point Vineyard' and notes it 'continues to be imported by DC Flynt MW Domaines & Estates' — corroborating Ti Point as producer and DC Flynt MW as the US importer/negociant across vintages, and matching the 'Ti Point' co-brand printed in the product name.
Tier 6 Ti Point Wines Ti Point Wines — Our Story Published · accessed July 5, 2026
Winery's own site: Ti Point began 'in the 1990's on a small parcel of land owned by the Haslam family' on the Matakana coast and has 'extended the footprint of Ti Point to Hawke's Bay and Marlborough,' selecting Marlborough grape parcels from individual growers — establishing Ti Point as an independent, family-founded New Zealand winery, not a Lion-owned or Darling-family brand as some seed notes speculated.

Frequently asked

Who makes Kirkland Signature Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc?
It is produced by Ti Point Wines, a New Zealand winery founded by the Haslam family on the Matakana coast that now also sources fruit from Marlborough and Hawke's Bay. The wine is co-branded on the label as 'Kirkland Signature Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc,' and Costco's negociant DC Flynt MW Domaines & Estates imports it to the US. The Costco Wine Blog's producer list names Ti Point Wines outright.
Is Kirkland New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc the same as Oyster Bay or Kim Crawford?
No. Kirkland's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a Ti Point Wines product, whereas Oyster Bay and Kim Crawford are separate Marlborough brands with their own wineries. They share the Marlborough region and the Sauvignon Blanc grape, but not a producer.
Does the same winery make every vintage of Kirkland's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc?
Every documented vintage — from the 2018 through the 2025 reviewed by wine writers — has carried the Ti Point name, so the producer has stayed stable, unlike some Kirkland wines whose sourcing shifts year to year. Because Costco can switch a private-label supplier between vintages, the reliable check is the producer and importer statement printed on the back label of the specific bottle you have.
