The star posed with two dummies as he unveiled his 2023 Pinot Gris, which will go on sale tomorrow.
Grown on his River Haven estate in New Zealand, the drink has been "a labour of love".
Announcing the tipple on the estate’s Instagram page, the TV presenter said: “HUGE NEWS - from this Friday, River Haven will be serving the first ever vintage of our very own Pinot Gris.
“This wine is a labour of love from our hardworking team, we’re beyond stoked to finally have it ready for you!
“A special thanks to our incredible volunteers who helped make this wine a reality.
“From tomorrow we’ll be reaching out to all of you to share in our wine (please bear with us, there’s a lot of you!). Thank you all so much for your patience so far.
“Again, available from THIS FRIDAY onwards by the glass, bottle or to take home and share…”

Since then they have opened a pub — the B***er Inn — a restaurant, store and coffee house.
Essex-born Noel was one of the biggest stars on British telly for decades, known for presenting BBC hits including the Saturday morning Multi-Coloured Swap Shop.
Noel Edmonds and wife Liz Davies' relationship started in the TOILETS on Deal or No Deal
His Saturday night show Noel's House Party - which pulled in audiences of up to 15 million - ran for eight years until 1999.
After a break from broadcasting he returned to front Deal or No Deal on Channel 4 between 2005 and 2016.
Noel broke I'm A Celeb records in 2018 when he came into the Aussie jungle as the show's highest-paid contestant up until that date.
Despite the £600,000 fee, he was the first person to leave the series after being voted out by the public.
He said he was "disappointed and relieved in equal measure".
