New Zealand's wine industry has grown rapidly over the last thirty
years, with the world's wine drinkers falling particularly hard for
the Marlborough region's distinctive Sauvignon Blancs. But New
Zealand wine goes far beyond the exuberant whites grown in the
north of its South Island. In The Wines of New Zealand Master of
Wine Rebecca Gibb takes us on a vinous journey through Aotearoa
('land of the long white cloud') and opens our eyes to the huge
variety of wines created throughout the two islands of one of the
world's most southerly wine-producing lands. She begins by covering
the history of winemaking in New Zealand - the first grapes were
planted 200 years ago, but it has only recently realized its
potential. There is then an introduction to the New Zealand climate
and the leading grapes - including 10 'must-try' wines for each
variety. The major wine producing regions are detailed in turn,
from Northland, the most northerly and warmest region, offering
ripe Chardonnays and rich reds, to the cooler South Island, where
bright whites and nuanced Pinot Noirs abound. Profiles, including
recommended wines, are given for a selection of the country's
nearly 700 producers, providing an overview of the most exciting
wineries and their differing approaches to viticulture and
winemaking. For those readers seeking to complete their exploration
of this breathtaking country in person, there is a useful chapter
giving details on wine-related activities in New Zealand. This
expert and accessible guide to New Zealand wines is a refreshing
addition to the library of any wine enthusiast.
