James Suckling – "A beautiful nose of sliced strawberries, crushed cherries, violets, grated nutmeg and a hint of white pepper. Some hibiscus, too. Supremely vibrant and perfumed with fine tannins that run the length of the medium-bodied palate. Textural. Ground spice and fresh fruit are intertwined, providing wonderful depth and complexity. So long as well. Seamless balance. Superb. Sustainable. Drink or hold." - 98 Points James Suckling - Wine of the Year, Top 100 NZ Wines for 2022

James Suckling – "Redcurrant and creme de cassis aromas. Roses. So aromatic. Stones. Oyster and mussel shell. Ink pot. Lead pencil shavings. Full-bodied but very tight and focused. Linear and long with fine, powdery and chewy tannins. Crushed velvet texture. 56% cabernet sauvignon, 32% merlot, and 12% cabernet franc. More franc than normal in the blend. Terrific length. Try after 2028." - James Suckling

The Wine Front – Pretty, floral, red and black fruit, a sneaky grid of pepper, dried roses and violet. Medium-bodied, concentrated, a little liquorice and spice, nutty, dense and clenched, very graphite and ‘mineral’ character, beef stock and meaty flavours too, and a long finish packed with silty tannin, coffee bean and violet. Beautiful Syrah here. All just so.

we94

Wine Enthusiast – Simply put, this is a beauty of a Bullnose bottling. The ancient red-iron soils of this long-standing Hawkes Bay estate have turned out an evocative nose of plum and blueberry amid a sappy, early spring forest of fresh flowers, herbs and spice (think sage, bay, peppercorn, anise). There's brightness and freshness to the silky palate despite the chiseled tannins. Captures not only a sense of place but also Syrah's often elusive tightrope walk of power and elegance. Drink now–2030.

hh96

Huon Hooke – Deep, bright purple/red colour and a very aromatic pepper and mixed spice bouquet that shouts 'cool-climate shiraz'. The wine is medium to full-bodied and elegantly shaped, soft fine tannins doing a great job to restrain the exuberant fruit. Refreshing acidity is perfectly harmonised. A gem of a shiraz, very much a northern Rhône style, appropriately labelled syrah.

The Wine Front – There’s a curious smell of neoprene here, or bicycle inner-tube, aside that there’s cherry and raspberry, charcoal briquettes, cassia bark, and some dried rose and mint perfume. It’s medium-bodied, dried cherry and pomegranate, a smoky and smudgy feel to tannin, quite savoury and autumnal, with a spiced tobacco finish of good length. Nice wine. Fleshy and flavoursome, with a little tamarillo/sweet tomato tang to close.

Wine Enthusiast – Richly fruited and engaging, the wine shows dark cherry, smoked game, clove, cedar and floral aromas, followed by a sumptuous palate that’s both powerful and refined. Superbly structured by layers of fine tannins and silky texture, finishing impressively long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2036. (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit)

New Zealand's wine regions stretch from the subtropical North Island to the southernmost parts of the South Island, offering a diverse range of climates and soils ideal for viticulture. The maritime climate, long hours of sunshine, and cool nights contribute to wines with vibrant acidity and concentrated flavors. The nation's isolation has led to a thriving ecosystem, resulting in wines that are both pure and expressive of their origin. One can't speak of New Zealand without acknowledging its most celebrated wine, Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, with its unmistakable notes of gooseberry and passion fruit. Yet, beyond this iconic variety, regions like Central Otago, Hawke's Bay, and Wairarapa produce exceptional Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay. The commitment to sustainable and organic farming practices further accentuates the country's dedication to quality, making New Zealand a treasure trove for wine enthusiasts seeking authenticity and character in every bottle.
Wines from New Zealand have garnered international acclaim for their vibrant characteristics and the distinct terroir in which they are produced. New Zealand's wine regions span a variety of climates, from maritime to alpine, leading to a broad spectrum of wine profiles. The country's relative isolation has led to a pristine environment, allowing for organic and biodynamic farming practices to flourish. The unique combination of soil, climate, and innovative viticulture produces wines that are pure, vibrant, and intensely aromatic. The diurnal temperature variation, particularly in regions like Central Otago, aids in producing wines with intense fruitiness while maintaining refreshing acidity. Moreover, the Maori concept of "kaitiakitanga" or guardianship and care for the land reflects in their sustainable winemaking practices, making New Zealand wines not just flavorful, but also conscientiously produced.
When one thinks of New Zealand wines, the first that often comes to mind is Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. Its explosive flavors of passionfruit, gooseberry, and fresh herbs have set a global standard. Pinot Noir, primarily from Central Otago and Martinborough, is also gaining traction for its elegance and depth. New Zealand also produces stellar Chardonnay, Riesling, and Syrah, but it's the country's sparkling wines, made in the traditional method, that are quietly rising stars in the wine world.
For newcomers to New Zealand wines, a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is an absolute must, offering a quintessential taste of the country's vinous output. Following closely, a Pinot Noir from Central Otago provides a taste of the country's red wine potential, marked by its deep fruit flavors and subtle earthy undertones. A Hawke's Bay Syrah will introduce you to the spicy and velvety side of New Zealand's wine palette. Lastly, round off your initial tasting journey with a Methode Traditionelle sparkling wine, which beautifully captures the crispness and purity of New Zealand's terroir.
Selecting the best New Zealand wines can be subjective, but certain names consistently shine. Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc has been an iconic representation of Marlborough's prowess. For Pinot Noir, labels such as Felton Road from Central Otago and Ata Rangi from Martinborough frequently receive accolades. In the realm of Chardonnay, Kumeu River is a benchmark producer, crafting Burgundian-style wines that age gracefully. Lastly, for those seeking bubbles, No.1 Family Estate and Quartz Reef produce sparkling wines that can rival many traditional Champagnes in quality and finesse.
