New Zealand is a stunningly beautiful country of contrasts with dense, native forest, snow-capped mountains and spectacular coastline. With ten distinctive wine growing regions spanning the latitudes of 36 to 45 degrees and covering the length of 1000 miles, grapes are grown in a vast range of climates and soil types, producing a diverse array of styles. The northern hemisphere equivalent would run from Bordeaux (between the latitudes of 44 and 46 degrees) down to southern Spain. Given this geological diversity, it is not surprising that New Zealand produces wines displaying such unique individual distinguishing characteristics.
