The wine region of Central Otago
The world's southernmost vineyard, jewel of New Zealand Pinot Noir. Intense, deep reds with signature notes of black cherry, ripe plum, violet, wild thyme and sweet spices, velvety tannins and a freshness kept taut by cold nights — a fleshy, sun-soaked style. Also ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), dry and off-dry Riesling with lively citrus, precise Chardonnay. Vineyards between 200-450 m on schist soils, continental climate.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
