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: Residual sugars
Sugars not transformed into alcohol and naturally present in the wine. The perception of residual sugars is conditioned by the acidity of the wine. The more acidic the wine is, the less sweet it will seem, given the same amount of sugar.
