New Zealand Wine

New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, away from the south to the northern latitudes of about six degrees, the same position against the Northern Hemisphere, approximately equal to Paris to North Africa, (covering several areas of Europe's most prestigious: Burgundy, Rhone, Bordeaux, township embankment), should be reasonable to say that the most suitable for growing wine grapes the Southern Hemisphere countries, but in fact due to rainy weather island, making New Zealand a lower temperature, thus with the northern European continental climate has a great difference. New Zealand from Australia about more than sixteen hundred kilometers, the island is almost green grass, mainly in animal husbandry, cultivation of grapes nearly three years and gradually developed into one of the important agriculture.
 Let us quickly into the New Zealand atmosphere of quiet beauty of life, you unexpected seafood dinner and spectacular views of the volcanic zone, the conquest of your taste senses will be that warm with the unique taste of New Zealand Sauvigonon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc, and The same characteristics of the Chardonnay is the white Chardonnay and Reisling Riesling. Although there is no outstanding performance on the traditional red wine, while the last two years in high-quality brand front, I am pleased to see a lot of excellent work, Cabernbet Sauvigonon plus the Sauvignon and Merlot Merlot wine has a good performance, the recent Many top brands are Pinot Noir Pinot Noir made a worldwide reputation, is not difficult to find in New Zealand New Zealand wine has the same origin, the international star Russell Crowe was to conquer the Seven Seas, the world renowned ability.
And Australia, as a number of excellent local brands dominate the wine business. We can hear the most famous name is Oakland headquarters for the company's Montana, with wineries as well as McDonald wine business. Other companies dominate the market of New Zealand wine has Corbans (brand: Stoenleigh, Longridge) and Villa Maria (brand: Vidal, Esk Valley). The two wine industry is also based on the country's most populous city of Auckland. These three companies charge a 50% wine industry. We usually contact the New Zealand wine, the majority is the system of three's.
Starting from the South Island
Although the capital and largest city in North Island, and New Zealand are often the best red wine from the South Island. As an extension of the northern South Island, Marlborough is New Zealand's largest wine producing area, if you prefer a Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc, I think you will here as New Zealand's wine heartland. Blessed with excellent conditions with mature mature in the cool of the night season to maintain the natural acidity in the grape composition, part of the park is also rich in high-quality wine Riesling Riesling. Produced in these areas makes this wine the darling of the world's attention.
Marlborough within my preferred brand is Isabel Estate, Le Brun, Cloudy Bay (under the Pelorus series is very unique sparkling wine), Hunter's, Jackson Estate, Lawson's Dry Hills and Montana.
The other from the South Island's wine region: as well as Nelson and Canterbury Marlborough Waipara areas seem to exist in the shadow of the Marlborough wine quality are very difficult to go beyond the height. More representative in the southern region is Central Otago. Where the Pinot Noir Pinot Noir produced in quality in recent years showing a rising trend is in the choice of Pinot Noir has been a concern when producing areas.
Other major producing areas in the South Island, my first choice is FeltonRoad, Carrick (from Central Otago).
North Island
Let us then return to North Island line of sight: I can give you the biggest clue is the "Wairarapa", including the Martinborough region in this branch. Martinborough is a premium white wine-producing areas to win, but in the region, we can still find some very good Pinot Noir vineyards.
In the Wairarapa region, my first choice is the Ata Rangi, Martinborough Vineyards, and Palliser (these brands come from Martinborough).
Hawke's Bay Hawker farther north in the Gulf, the climate is more gentle on the performance of the pro-and history, there have been very successful red grapes and white grapes. Some of the wine produced there has been proven outstanding quality and character. Gisborne region has produced many high-quality white wine grape garden, and Waikato, Auckland Auckland and Bay of Plenty of grapes in both red grapes and white grape varieties. If we go further north, Northland region growing grapes, but yield less certain.
In these regions which, my choice is Peackock Ridge (from Waiheke Island), Esk Valley, Redmetal Vineyards top Cuvées also once I wonder, MacDonald Winery, Te Mata, Vidal, CJ Pask (more than These are from the Hawke's Bay region), Coopers Creek, Delegat's, Deutz, Selaks (these are from the Auckland Auckland is big).
Wine choice
Found during a recent tasting a lot of high-quality red wine from New Zealand, especially in the year 2000, indeed, I was impressed, this year among the several brands of wine have appeared in the pinnacle of beautiful brilliant masterpiece. Certainly from an economic point of view, a lot of vintage wine is still not choose the wine in my list within a matter of fact a lot of Sauvignon Blanc not be able to show their best vintage taste. Wine terms, Central Otago region of 95, 96 years of Pinot Noir is a classic. In the previous tasting, plus more vintage Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot this has not left me a "good" impression, but these classic varieties of grapes in New Zealand's total
