New Zealand's southern island, cradle of the country's great wines.

Pinot Noir star in Central Otago (among the most southerly) and Waipara: airy with cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, thyme. Taut Riesling, precise Chardonnay, floral Pinot Gris.
Aromatic, chiselled style.
The word of the wine: Blanc de blancs (champagne)
