New Zealand

It was the high sugar, high acid style of Sauvignons from the northern tip of the South Island in Marlborough that really accelerated interest in New Zealand and first attracted the world's wine drinkers' attention with its intense and aromatic wines.

But as New Zealand continues to explore its varying soils and climates for other perfect combinations of terroir and grape, it is discovering more and more exciting styles, not just of Sauvignon but of other grapes too, such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir.

Our own New Zealand selection provides a wonderful cross-section of styles which illustrates this perfectly, with wines from Waimauku,Wairarapa, Marlborough and Central Otago.
