The wine region of Waitaki
New Zealand's youngest wine region (first vines 2001), South Island (North Otago), complex soils of limestone, greywacke and schist. Pinot Noir the signature red: elegant and delicate with cherry, raspberry, strawberry, wild herbs and spice — more aerial and fine-boned than Central Otago Pinots. Taut Riesling with citrus, blossom and mineral hints, cutting acidity. Pinot Gris and Chardonnay 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.
The word of the wine: Vaccaresis
Black grape variety, one of the 13 of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which can be used in a blend in this appellation and other neighbouring AOCs (Côtes-du-Rhône, Gigondas...). It produces a floral, elegant and fresh wine, which balances the warmth of the Grenache. It is rare.
