The wine region of Waipara
New Zealand gem of North Canterbury (South Island) north of Christchurch: signature Pinot Noir as king red — racy and savory with notes of cherry, raspberry, plum, earth, spices and a floral touch, fine tannins and chiseled finish, signature restrained mineral style. Riesling as king white among the best of the southern hemisphere — dry to sweet of great purity (lime, green apple, flowers, minerality). GI, clay-limestone soils, sheltered hills.
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: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
