Title
New Zealand Wine of the Week
Description
New Zealand is one of the flavours of the month when it comes to wine. It’s rather exciting for a country that produces less than one percent that the world’s total production. Blame the influential international wine media who rave about the sensational Sauvignon Blancs and the perfect Pinot Noirs. It’s not surprising that everyone wants to know more about the country that makes these palate-pleasing wines.
Although a land of contrasts with a temperate maritime climate that's subtropical in the north and hard and barren in the deep south where fresh unused air blows straight off the South Pole, vineyards are found throughout the country.
Regions such as Hawkes Bay, Martinborough, Marlborough and Central Otago have world renown and take central stage in most vinous articles or tourist itineraries. Other long established regions include Auckland, Gisborne, Nelson, Canterbury and Waipara while vineyards fan out from Martinborough into the greater Wairarapa. However New Zealand is such a young wine country and vineyards are planted almost everywhere with someone hoping to find the spot that will become the next vinous real estate pot of gold. Could it be in the Waitaki Valley, the border region between South Canterbury and North Otago?
