New Zealand wine

New Zealand’s signature wine is Sauvignon Blanc. Single-handedly securing the country’s reputation as a premium wine producer, it’s famous for its vibrant tropical-fruit flavours and distinctive character.

Considered one of the best wine styles in the world, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is easy-drinking, with mouth-watering acidity and tart flavours of gooseberry and grapefruit, along with hints of green pea and lime.

Chardonnay is another popular white variety from New Zealand, striking a good balance between fruitiness and acidity that make elegant wines in a range of styles, from crisp and unoaked to rich and buttery.

Age-worthy New Zealand Rieslings reflect the diversity of the country’s regions, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet with aromas of stone fruits and a zingy acidity.

Premium Bordeaux-style blends can be found in Hawke’s Bay. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot are blended together to create complex, robust red wines with flavours of dark fruit and hints of spice.
