The wine region of Bannockburn
Sub-region of Central Otago in New Zealand (the warmest and driest, called the 'heart of the desert', varied soils of glacial schists, loess and draining sandy gravels, its own GI): Pinot Noir leads in reds — heavier and more tannic than its neighbours with dark ripe fruits (black cherry), herbal complexity and power. Harvest sometimes a month ahead of Gibbston, long ripening after hot summers, premium quality since plantings in the 1990s, distinct blocks.
The wine region of South Island
New Zealand's southern island, cradle of the country's great wines. Sauvignon Blanc signature in Marlborough (~80% of national vineyard): explosive and tropical with grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, cut grass and mineral touch — global benchmark. 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.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
