It's no secret that New Zealand Wines are increasingly popular worldwide, with recognisable brands being found on menus and in store all around the world. With this in mind, we thought we might delve a little deeper into what Aotearoa has to offer.
Many New Zealand Wineries are experimenting - utilizing different varietals to showcase the range and scope of our unique landscape, resulting in new, modern forms of New Zealand wine.
We started our tasting with 2016 Middle Earth Albarino, a wine with a very young vine age - the youth of which providing a very fruit foward palate. The varietal of Albarino comes from the small region of Rias Baixas in North Western Spain, a coastal region where the wines are produced to go with the fresh seafood in the region and this Nelson rendition of Albarino holds its own in that regard - very young, light and fresh, with a dry mineral finish.
Our next wine for the evening was the recently awarded Best in Category at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards - the 2016 Summerhouse Wine Co. Verdelho. From a varietal that hails from Portugal, that is also one of the main grapes of Madeira and Douro Blanco, this was a dry and fresh wine with notes of lime and peach that shows subtle spice from seasoned oak ageing.
