The wine region of Bannockburn
Sub-region of Central Otago in New Zealand (the warmest and driest, called the 'heart of the desert', varied soils of glacial schists, loess and draining sandy gravels, its own GI): Pinot Noir leads in reds — heavier and more tannic than its neighbours with dark ripe fruits (black cherry), herbal complexity and power. Harvest sometimes a month ahead of Gibbston, long ripening after hot summers, premium quality since plantings in the 1990s, distinct blocks.
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: Musky
Said of an odor reminiscent of musk.
