New Zealand WineNew Zealand is world famous for its biggest-selling wine export – zesty Sauvignon Blanc, especially from the Marlborough region at the tip of the South Island, home to well-known producers such as Oyster Bay, Cloudy Bay and Montana. NZ’s cool maritime climate allows grapes to ripen slowly, creating wines of elegance and finesse. NZ is also famous for its fine Pinot Noir, notably from Martinborough in the North Island and Central Otago in the high country of the South Island. Hawkes Bay produces fine, full-bodied reds from its high quality Gimblett Gravels region.
