The wine region of Awatere Valley
New Zealand sub-region of Marlborough (steep hills, gravelly terraces, aeolian loams, powerful winds, marked diurnal range). Sauvignon Blanc world flagship white: powerfully herbaceous with distinctive tomato-leaf, tropical fruit and tense minerality, chiselled acidity and saline finish recalling Sancerre. Pinot Noir in cool-climate red: fragrant berries, thick skins.
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: Second fermentation
In the making of champagne, fermentation of the base wine to which is added the liqueur de tirage and which takes place in the bottle. This second fermentation produces the carbon dioxide, and therefore the bubbles that make up the effervescence of the wine.
