OVERVIEW
Geography
New Zealand is two small islands in the South Pacific – but it’s a big deal in the world of wine. The country’s unique geographical situation and modern approach make New Zealand wines some of the most popular in the world.
The country is divided into North and South islands, both home to major New Zealand wine regions. With a combined length of 1,000 miles, the islands of New Zealand boast some 700 wineries.
Varietal / Type
Sauvignon Blanc is an international white grape variety that originates in France. It’s long been used to make world-class wines from Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. Yet in recent decades, Sauvignon Blanc has become an everyday favorite thanks to the New World winemakers of New Zealand.
With its distinctive, vivid aromas and zesty acidity, Sauvignon Blanc is easy to peg in a blind tasting of dry white wines. The wine’s green, herbaceous and fruity scents are sometimes accented with musky aromas, yet its flavors are consistently fresh and bright.
