The wine region of Wairau Valley

Historical heart of New Zealand's Marlborough (wide river valley following the Wairau River from the Spenser Mountains to Cloudy Bay on the Pacific, gravelly alluvial soils, warmer and more sheltered than the Awatere thanks to the Wither Hills, birthplace 1973 Brancott): Sauvignon Blanc is the signature white (63 %) — opulent profile with passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry and green pepper. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris as complements.


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.
