New Zealand Wines

In the 1987 edition of Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Book of Wine, New Zealand had less than one page of wines. In the 2006 edition of the Pocket Book, there are seven. The recent increase in importance is based on quality not price. The average imported price of a bottle from New Zealand remains more than £1 higher than the average from any other country.

The total quantity of wine produced here is small compared to most wine-producing countries but the quality is outstanding. Cool growing conditions in the world’s most southerly vineyards (next stop Antarctica) and high tech winemaking produce benchmark Sauvignon Blancs, excellent Chardonnays, proper Burgundian style Pinot Noirs, and textbook Cabernet/Merlot blends.

We believe that the U.K.’s appetite for New Zealand wines will continue and we have increased our own range accordingly. From Palliser Estate Sauvignon Blanc and Alpha Domus The Aviator down, the wines are characterised by pungent aromas, intense fruit and balanced acidity - just what one wants.
