Following the closure of the site, which produces local wine brands, including Brancott Estate and Stoneleigh, the company plans to utilise other "Pernod Ricard Winemakers facilities and third party support in Auckland" to carry on production, a spokeswoman for the company said.
She did not specify if this would include offshore facilities.
E tū, the union for Pernod Ricard workers, has been contacted for comment. The union will visit its members at the Tamaki site tomorrow.
Pernod Ricard is also the manufacturer of wine brand Montana, G.H.Mumm, Absolut Vodka and Malibu, among other brands.
Last year, Pernod Richard's New Zealand division took a hit. Local holding company Millstream Equities reported a net loss of $182.4 million in the 12 months to June 30, 2018, according to financial statements lodged with the Companies Office.
Its annual loss for the 2018 financial year widened after writing down the value of its assets and investments by $119m. Its loss increased from a net $105.3m posted a year earlier.
Pernod Ricard's gross profit almost halved in the 2018 year following an 8.7 per cent fall in sales. Higher costs also flattened its margins.
The company closed its Hawke's Bay Winery in Napier in 2017 moving production to the Church Road winery down the road.
