The wine region of Nelson

Cool-climate region of New Zealand's South Island, the only one on the west coast and rain-sheltered. Signature Chardonnay precise and taut with signature notes of white apple, citrus, toasted hazelnut, fresh butter and a mineral touch, ample long mouth — local benchmark. Fine silky Pinot Noir (tart cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices), delicate tannins. Also vivid fruity Sauvignon Blanc, ample Pinot Gris, taut Riesling.


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.
