New Zealand Wines
NEW ZEALAND PUTS THE FINE INTO WINE!!!
Imagine lush, green rolling country sides lined with many plentiful vineyards each boasting juicy grapes that have been kissed by the New Zealand sun and bathed in the fresh clean New Zealand breeze.
Yes, New Zealand has the optimum environment for wine making and we produce some of the world’s finest wine! New Zealand’s natural environment, low pollution and soils combined with the talent and skills of our winemakers are how we can create our wine masterpieces.
New Zealand Wine is grown mostly in the ten major wine growing regions which are:
- Northland
- Auckland
- Waikato/Bay of Plenty
- Gisborne
- Hawkes Bay
- Wellington
- Nelson
- Marlborough
- Canterbury/Wairapa
- Central Otago
- Waiheke Island
The climate in New Zealand is described as "Marine’ which means the sea moderates the weather producing cooler summers and milder winters which of course has an effect on the wine produced here. The wine growing regions of New Zealand tend to have cool nights even in summer which means the fruits are nearly always high in acidity.
New Zealand's wine is in high demand internationally and to cope with increasing demand New Zealand’s vineyards plantings have more than tripled in the ten years.
New Zealand has been described as the home of the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc and is also highly acclaimed for its other white wine varieties such as:
New Zealand Red Wines are also highly praised. In general New Zealand Reds are especially noted as forward and fruit driven, with restrained oak.
New Zealand Pinot Noir’s are known for their fruitiness and tend to be quite full bodied.
Whatever wine type you prefer, you are bound to find a New Zealand wine that suits satisfies and impresses your palate.
If visiting New Zealand, a winery visit is a must on your to do list.
A recent trend in New Zealand wine making is the increasing popularity of New Zealand Fruit Wines
Like the grapes, the fruits share the same optimal conditions for growing, and as such Fruit Wines are making a mark on the world.
New Zealand is producing stunning fruit wines such as Fejoa Wine, Kiwifruit Wine, Boysenberry wine and more and they are also available in Still and Sparkling varieties.
Some types of fruit wine contain lower histamine levels than wines made from grapes and this has been part of the recent popularity of fruit wines among those who cannot tolerate grape wines.
