New Zealand

New Zealand produces world-class wine from a relatively small number of regions, with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc the most widely recognised style internationally. Beyond Marlborough, the country's fine wine reputation rests on Central Otago Pinot Noir, Martinborough Pinot Noir and Hawke's Bay Cabernet blends and Syrah - all regions that have demonstrated the capacity for genuine complexity and age-worthiness.

This collection focuses on New Zealand's premium producers - estates such as Felton Road, Ata Rangi, Craggy Range and Te Mata that are making wines of serious quality rather than volume. The emphasis is on Pinot Noir and red Bordeaux varieties, which represent the most compelling case for New Zealand as a fine wine country.
