The wine region of Wairarapa
Southern tip of New Zealand's North Island, an hour east of Wellington, heart of the Martinborough appellation. Climate and soils compared to Burgundy. Pinot Noir is the signature red king (national reference with Central Otago): spicy, earthy profile with black cherry, plum, blackberry, undergrowth, pepper, thyme and a smoky touch, fine tannins and a dense palate. Taut, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, precise buttery Chardonnay, floral Pinot Gris, peppery Syrah.
The wine region of North Island
New Zealand's North Island, warmer and more varied than the South Island. Bordeaux varieties and Pinot Noir as signatures. Merlot in Hawke's Bay as a supple red with notes of plum, ripe cherry, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, round tannins — blended with Cabernet and peppery Syrah. Fine Pinot Noir in Wairarapa/Martinborough (cherry, undergrowth).
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
