New Zealand

Best known for its fresh, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand has a deserved reputation for also producing premium quality Pinot Noir & Chardonnay.

New Zealand has a maritime climate overall - the South Island is cool whilst the North Island is slightly warmer.

Due to climatic conditions, long ripening periods allow the grapes to reach high levels of sugar and flavour ripeness while retaining acidity.

Key areas to look out for on your wine journey include Hawke's Bay, Wairarapa, Marlborough & Central Otago.
