The wine region of Marlborough
World reference for Sauvignon Blanc: aromatic, exuberant whites with signature notes of passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and cut grass, sharp lively acidity and an iodised finish. King grape on 71% of the vineyard since 1972. Also fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, plum, spice), taut Chardonnay and lively Riesling. Traditional-method sparklers on the rise.
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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
