Wine Regions
New Zealand extends 1,600km from sub-tropical Northland to the world's most southerly grape growing region Central Otago. Vineyards benefit from the moderating effect of the maritime climate (no vineyard is more than 120km, from the ocean) with long sunshine hours and nights cooled by sea breezes.New Zealand wine is distinctive for its purity, vibrancy and intensity. The long ripening period - a result of cool temperatures - allows flavour development whilst retaining fresh acidity, a balance for which New Zealand wines are renowned.
