New Zealand has long been famed for its stunning,
unspoiled landscape. Equal to the international acclaim
for its beauty is that for its fine wines. Climate,
geography and human skill have combined to produce highly
distinctive, premium quality wines, which are 'the riches
of a clean, green land.'
Food friendly wines
New Zealand cuisine draws inspiration from the traditional
kitchens of France and Italy, as well as the exotic
dishes of Asia and the Pacific Rim. Wine styles have
evolved to compliment this extensive menu. There are
bright and zesty wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling
for fresh and subtly spiced dishes, while complex, mellow
Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blends and Pinot
Noir offer a timeless marriage with the classical dishes
of Europe.
