New Zealand
Known the world over for its aromatic Sauvignon Blanc whites that cover aromas from passion fruit to gooseberries and grass, New Zealand is a small wine-producing nation that also makes cool-climate wines
New Zealand's wine regions extend 1,100 km from subtropical Northland down to Central Otago, home to the world’s most southerly vineyards. The vineyards benefit from the moderating effect of maritime climate, long sunshine hours and nights cooled by sea breezes.
Sauvignon blanc accounts for the majority of production, but the country is receiving increasing attention for its pinot noir. New Zealand is divided into twelve districts: seven on the North Island and five on the South Island.
