New Zealand Wine

New Zealand, like Australia, has its own world-renowned wine industry. With the combination of good soil, climate and fresh water, New Zealanders have developed a quality of wines that are well worth trying. One of country’s top drops is Sauvignon Blanc. The growing recognition for New Zealand Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, “Methode Traditionellesparkling wines, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends is helping to keep the country’s top position as a producer of world-class wines. With many of the vineyards being in coastal areas, this has its very own influence on the taste of the wines; the vines get strong winds and clear sunlight during the day, but at night they enjoy the cold sea breezes. Because of this climate there is a long, slow ripening process which ends up producing the vibrant variety of flavors that make New Zealand wine so distinctive. There are ten major wine growing regions spanning latitudes from 36° to 45° South and extending over some 1,600 km. They are, from north to south Northland, Auckland, Waikato / Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawke's Bay, Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury and Central Otago.
