NEW ZEALAND WINES

While recent history will dictate the ever rising popularity of Marlborough’s Sauvignon Blanc and in particular Giesen and Oyster Bay’s footprint in this sector, it has since awoken many beasts not only in Marlborough but also nearby by Nelson, Martinborough and Central Otago way down south. Marquee producers such as Neudorf, Maude, Amisfield among many others are not only gaining on the market share and have, through handcrafting, mastered not only Sauvignon Blanc but also the holy grail in wine – Pinot Noir.

New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is rated throughout the world as the definitive benchmark style for this varietal. The growing recognition for New Zealand Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Méthode Traditionelle sparkling wines, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends is helping to further cement New Zealand's position as a producer of world class wines.
