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: Burned

Qualifier, sometimes equivocal, of various odors, ranging from caramel to burnt wood.
