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: Presses

The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
