The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Canterbury
Canterbury ligt op het Zuidereiland van Nieuw-Zeeland, ten oosten van de Zuidelijke Alpen en strekt zich uit van Christchurch in het zuiden tot de noordelijke Waipara Valley-gebieden. Het gebied omvat zowel de Canterbury Plains rond Christchurch als de belangrijkere subregio North Canterbury met de Waipara Valley als het belangrijkste gebied.
Het klimaat is koel continentaal met droge zomers, koele nachten en een lang groeiseizoen, gematigd door droge wind uit de Zuidelijke Alpen. De bodem varieert van grind en alluviale afzettingen op de vlakten tot kalk en klei in Waipara. Pinot Noir en Riesling domineren, aangevuld met Chardonnay, Pinot Gris en Sauvignon Blanc. De stijl is typisch elegant en zuur, met Pinot Noir met kersen, frambozen, specerijen, kruiden en fijne tannines, terwijl Riesling varieert van droog tot licht zoet met citrus, limoen, witte perzik en kalkachtige mineraliteit. Het gebied staat bekend als een van de meest klassieke Pinot Noir- en Riesling-regio's met een koel klimaat in Nieuw-Zeeland.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
