New Zealand’s isolation in a far-flung corner of the world bred a great deal of ingenuity in its early years. In recent years, this has been sublimated into a rare explosion of creativity, with the small nation’s filmmakers, fashion designers, actors, writers and artists exploring fresh possibilities and achieving an amazingly high profile on the world stage.

The country’s prominence in the world of wine, which far outstrips its modest production, also bears testimony of an enterprising, creative spirit. Brancott is one of the products of Kiwi creativity, but has also become a catalyst of creative activity through sponsorship.

Under the Montana brand we sponsor the Montana Book Awards, New Zealand’s premier literary and publishing honours, as well as the Montana World of WearableArt Awards®, a unique combination of sculpture, fashion design and theatrical staging.

Note: The Brancott brand is known as Montana outside the USA.
