We kick off 2014 with a brief look back over our shoulder at the 1980s a decade when Indiana Jones ran amok in temples Michael Jackson actually thrilled us the world was taken over by the CD the PC and MTV and Steve Jobs encountered his true calling Right at the end the Berlin Wall came crashing down

Back in NZ the country almost underwent binary fi ssion over the Springbok Tour the Aussie cricketers tried on underarm bowling for size Rob Muldoon experienced his own personal 1984 when he was snap-elected out of offi ce David Lange got a whiff of radiation and championed a nuclear-free New Zealand the French came to town and left with the Rainbow Warrior in pieces our collective champagne lifestyle came plummeting down with the Black Monday stock market crash and the All Blacks won the inaugural World Cup And New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc took the wine world by storm

In amongst all of that the family-owned Glengarry was hard at work on its own personal empire exploring the possibilities pushing out the boundaries The 1980s had their fair share of milestones and while there is always plenty of chatter regarding the changing nature of retail when you pare it down itrsquos still all about good-quality products and outstanding service

This edition of the Glengarry Wineletter sees the return of some names you may not have seen since those times a collection of old favourites that have dusted themselves off and made themselves over for a new generation of wine lovers It was in the 1980s that regulations regarding imported wine were relaxed and we were quick to jump on the bandwagon (wersquove not got off yet itrsquos moving so fast) Our fi rst import was Australian fi zz-kid Angas Brut Then came Bordeaux and our heart has not moved far from its borders ever since Take a trip with us down memory lane and in the process back to the future yoursquoll enjoy the ride

The two decades leading up to the end of the 20th century were exciting times with the New Zealand Government in the early 1980s fi nally allowing retailers to sell imported wines in the process giving Glengarry the opportunity to tap into a whole new world

Raised in a culture with a progressive attitude more in tune with the growing number of discerning local wine drinkers the third generation of Glengarryrsquos Jakicevich family became actively involved in managing the burgeoning retail empire throwing their enthusiasm for all things vinous into the development of an environment more in tune with the global sensibilities that existed beyond our shores

Within this setting sat a number of iconic brands each shedding its own unique light upon the times and leaving behind some fond memories in the process Some of these have made a return ndash adjusted to a new market with their glory not in the least diminished ndash to strut their stuff to a whole new audience We welcome them back

Fresh seductive the Mateus is a bona fi de classic ndash namedropped by rockstars and stockpiled by despots ndash with an intense but refi ned bouquet and all the exuberance of a young wine It is slightly more frizzante and a little less sweet these days as it attempts to engage with the modern preference for a drier tipple At 11 alcohol itrsquos refreshing and well worth a revisit

Since its return to our shelves in sleek new livery customers have been waxing lyrical about the last time they drank Mateus roseacute Its origins date back to 1942 when Fernando Guedes set out to put Portugal on the vinous map from his small family winery Sogrape Vinhos which rose by the end of the eighties to become the largest wine producer in Portugal

The centrepiece of his agenda was the ubiquitous Mateus the fi rst wine to attain true global notoriety and today boasting a presence in more than 125 countries Salvador Guedes grandson of Fernando explains lsquoOur challenge is to sustain the Mateus as we pass it from generation to generation and thatrsquos why every so often we make subtle changes to the bottlersquo Regardless of outer appearances the unique essence of this iconic wine remains unchanged

Introducing new wines and innovative ideas has always been a hallmark of Glengarry By the mid-1980s the number of New Zealand and Australian brands had increased substantially so in order to provide a benchmark of sorts Glengarry introduced the popular Australian sparkler Angas Brut to the New Zealand palate This proved to be a stepping stone on the way to Europe and the glorious mystique of Francersquos Bordeaux Burgundy and Champagne regions

Craft beer production and the emergence of micro-breweries has been on an upward curve for the last decade but the situa-tion some thirty years ago was quite different beer production was restricted to just two giant breweries Enter former All Black Terry McCashin a Picton publican who could not fi nd a beer he wanted to drink or serve to his customers With nothing else in the offi ng Terry decided to produce his own

The fi rst hurdle Terry had to overcome was red tape in fi fty years no-one had applied for a licence to brew beer and the only person who knew about the procedures and documentation had died In 1981 however with licence fi nally in hand The McCashin Brewery opened in Stoke Nelson making itself at home in the old Rochdale Cider factory which the family had purchased

Under head brewer Jim Pollitt McCashinrsquos Mac beers were naturally produced using only malts hops and yeast The result-ing brews ndash produced over a 12-week period and matured to perfection ndash proved to be exceedingly popular In time the Mac brand changed hands and production moved to the North Island

The McCashin family have remained in the game however with Terryrsquos son Dean and his wife Emma reopening the historic Stoke brewery from where they produce their award-winning Rochdale ciders and a premium range of Stoke craft beers The beers are batched brewed from traditional McCashin family recipes using pure Palaeo water Nelson hops premium malts and bespoke yeast with no artifi cial colouring or additives The innovation that is the hallmark of the McCashin family is very much to the fore in the Stoke brewery which boasts a 100-litre temperature-controlled pilot plant where new beer styles can be developed The superb Stoke beers created by the current McCashin generation pay a fi tting tribute to Terryrsquos legacy

The Val delle Rose estate is located at Poggio la Mozza in southern Tuscanyrsquos Maremma area a beautiful coastal region that is home to great wines like Sassicia and Ornellaia The southern part of Tuscany is dramatically different to the north remaining relatively unspoilt

When the Cecchi family fi rst invested in Maremma in 1996 they started with a mere 25ha of poorly maintained vineyards which they have assiduously replanted and replenished adding on new vine-yards to fi nally cover an impressive 90ha Val delle Rose is the newest of their four properties an on-site winery soon to be completed

The Tuscan Maremma is one of the new frontiers of quality Italian viticulture its climatic characteristics very favourable to cultivation From Maremma the family produce Vermentino and Morellino di Scansano

DOMAINE

ROMANIN

Domaine Romanin is located in Burgundy in the village of Fuisseacute right at the heart of the famous vineyards of Pouilly-Fuisseacute where the domainersquos Vervier Family are now into their fi fth generation of winegrowing Unsurprisingly tradition plays a key part in Denis Vervierrsquos vinous strategies as he goes about crafting his exemplary and authentic expressions with sustainable viticulture manual harvesting time-tested cellar techniques and scrupulous attention to detail all key components

The vines are between 30 and 70 years old and enjoy a southsouth-eastern exposure that is highly conducive to ripening with the clay and limestone soils typical of the region bestowing their own unique characteristics on the Chardonnay fruit via fruity and fl oral nuances There is particularly with the blended Pouilly-Fuisseacutes a skill in the assemblage that sets this area of Burgundy apart

The winery is based on 20 hectares of vines in Briones that are not used for Allende While the Allende wines are serious in nature ndash tannic wines derived from vines immersed in iron-rich clay ndash the Finca Nueva expressions are fruitier and more immediately accessible grown on largely calcareous soils and crafted with a new generation of wine drinkers in mind

We kick off 2014 with a brief look back over our shoulder at the 1980s a decade when Indiana Jones ran amok in temples Michael Jackson actually thrilled us the world was taken over by the CD the PC and MTV and Steve Jobs encountered his true calling Right at the end the Berlin Wall came crashing down

Back in NZ the country almost underwent binary fi ssion over the Springbok Tour the Aussie cricketers tried on underarm bowling for size Rob Muldoon experienced his own personal 1984 when he was snap-elected out of offi ce David Lange got a whiff of radiation and championed a nuclear-free New Zealand the French came to town and left with the Rainbow Warrior in pieces our collective champagne lifestyle came plummeting down with the Black Monday stock market crash and the All Blacks won the inaugural World Cup And New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc took the wine world by storm

In amongst all of that the family-owned Glengarry was hard at work on its own personal empire exploring the possibilities pushing out the boundaries The 1980s had their fair share of milestones and while there is always plenty of chatter regarding the changing nature of retail when you pare it down itrsquos still all about good-quality products and outstanding service

This edition of the Glengarry Wineletter sees the return of some names you may not have seen since those times a collection of old favourites that have dusted themselves off and made themselves over for a new generation of wine lovers It was in the 1980s that regulations regarding imported wine were relaxed and we were quick to jump on the bandwagon (wersquove not got off yet itrsquos moving so fast) Our fi rst import was Australian fi zz-kid Angas Brut Then came Bordeaux and our heart has not moved far from its borders ever since Take a trip with us down memory lane and in the process back to the future yoursquoll enjoy the ride

The two decades leading up to the end of the 20th century were exciting times with the New Zealand Government in the early 1980s fi nally allowing retailers to sell imported wines in the process giving Glengarry the opportunity to tap into a whole new world

Raised in a culture with a progressive attitude more in tune with the growing number of discerning local wine drinkers the third generation of Glengarryrsquos Jakicevich family became actively involved in managing the burgeoning retail empire throwing their enthusiasm for all things vinous into the development of an environment more in tune with the global sensibilities that existed beyond our shores

Within this setting sat a number of iconic brands each shedding its own unique light upon the times and leaving behind some fond memories in the process Some of these have made a return ndash adjusted to a new market with their glory not in the least diminished ndash to strut their stuff to a whole new audience We welcome them back

Since its return to our shelves in sleek new livery customers have been waxing lyrical about the last time they drank Mateus roseacute Its origins date back to 1942 when Fernando Guedes set out to put Portugal on the vinous map from his small family winery Sogrape Vinhos which rose by the end of the eighties to become the largest wine producer in Portugal

The centrepiece of his agenda was the ubiquitous Mateus the fi rst wine to attain true global notoriety and today boasting a presence in more than 125 countries Salvador Guedes grandson of Fernando explains lsquoOur challenge is to sustain the Mateus as we pass it from generation to generation and thatrsquos why every so often we make subtle changes to the bottlersquo Regardless of outer appearances the unique essence of this iconic wine remains unchanged

Craft beer production and the emergence of micro-breweries has been on an upward curve for the last decade but the situa-tion some thirty years ago was quite different beer production was restricted to just two giant breweries Enter former All Black Terry McCashin a Picton publican who could not fi nd a beer he wanted to drink or serve to his customers With nothing else in the offi ng Terry decided to produce his own

The fi rst hurdle Terry had to overcome was red tape in fi fty years no-one had applied for a licence to brew beer and the only person who knew about the procedures and documentation had died In 1981 however with licence fi nally in hand The McCashin Brewery opened in Stoke Nelson making itself at home in the old Rochdale Cider factory which the family had purchased

Under head brewer Jim Pollitt McCashinrsquos Mac beers were naturally produced using only malts hops and yeast The result-ing brews ndash produced over a 12-week period and matured to perfection ndash proved to be exceedingly popular In time the Mac brand changed hands and production moved to the North Island

The McCashin family have remained in the game however with Terryrsquos son Dean and his wife Emma reopening the historic Stoke brewery from where they produce their award-winning Rochdale ciders and a premium range of Stoke craft beers The beers are batched brewed from traditional McCashin family recipes using pure Palaeo water Nelson hops premium malts and bespoke yeast with no artifi cial colouring or additives The innovation that is the hallmark of the McCashin family is very much to the fore in the Stoke brewery which boasts a 100-litre temperature-controlled pilot plant where new beer styles can be developed The superb Stoke beers created by the current McCashin generation pay a fi tting tribute to Terryrsquos legacy

The vines are between 30 and 70 years old and enjoy a southsouth-eastern exposure that is highly conducive to ripening with the clay and limestone soils typical of the region bestowing their own unique characteristics on the Chardonnay fruit via fruity and fl oral nuances There is particularly with the blended Pouilly-Fuisseacutes a skill in the assemblage that sets this area of Burgundy apart

Craft beer production and the emergence of micro-breweries has been on an upward curve for the last decade but the situa-tion some thirty years ago was quite different beer production was restricted to just two giant breweries Enter former All Black Terry McCashin a Picton publican who could not fi nd a beer he wanted to drink or serve to his customers With nothing else in the offi ng Terry decided to produce his own

The fi rst hurdle Terry had to overcome was red tape in fi fty years no-one had applied for a licence to brew beer and the only person who knew about the procedures and documentation had died In 1981 however with licence fi nally in hand The McCashin Brewery opened in Stoke Nelson making itself at home in the old Rochdale Cider factory which the family had purchased

Under head brewer Jim Pollitt McCashinrsquos Mac beers were naturally produced using only malts hops and yeast The result-ing brews ndash produced over a 12-week period and matured to perfection ndash proved to be exceedingly popular In time the Mac brand changed hands and production moved to the North Island

The McCashin family have remained in the game however with Terryrsquos son Dean and his wife Emma reopening the historic Stoke brewery from where they produce their award-winning Rochdale ciders and a premium range of Stoke craft beers The beers are batched brewed from traditional McCashin family recipes using pure Palaeo water Nelson hops premium malts and bespoke yeast with no artifi cial colouring or additives The innovation that is the hallmark of the McCashin family is very much to the fore in the Stoke brewery which boasts a 100-litre temperature-controlled pilot plant where new beer styles can be developed The superb Stoke beers created by the current McCashin generation pay a fi tting tribute to Terryrsquos legacy

The centrepiece of his agenda was the ubiquitous Mateus the fi rst wine to attain true global notoriety and today boasting a presence in more than 125 countries Salvador Guedes grandson of Fernando explains lsquoOur challenge is to sustain the Mateus as we pass it from generation to generation and thatrsquos why every so often we make subtle changes to the bottlersquo Regardless of outer appearances the unique essence of this iconic wine remains unchanged

Craft beer production and the emergence of micro-breweries has been on an upward curve for the last decade but the situa-tion some thirty years ago was quite different beer production was restricted to just two giant breweries Enter former All Black Terry McCashin a Picton publican who could not fi nd a beer he wanted to drink or serve to his customers With nothing else in the offi ng Terry decided to produce his own

The fi rst hurdle Terry had to overcome was red tape in fi fty years no-one had applied for a licence to brew beer and the only person who knew about the procedures and documentation had died In 1981 however with licence fi nally in hand The McCashin Brewery opened in Stoke Nelson making itself at home in the old Rochdale Cider factory which the family had purchased

Under head brewer Jim Pollitt McCashinrsquos Mac beers were naturally produced using only malts hops and yeast The result-ing brews ndash produced over a 12-week period and matured to perfection ndash proved to be exceedingly popular In time the Mac brand changed hands and production moved to the North Island

The McCashin family have remained in the game however with Terryrsquos son Dean and his wife Emma reopening the historic Stoke brewery from where they produce their award-winning Rochdale ciders and a premium range of Stoke craft beers The beers are batched brewed from traditional McCashin family recipes using pure Palaeo water Nelson hops premium malts and bespoke yeast with no artifi cial colouring or additives The innovation that is the hallmark of the McCashin family is very much to the fore in the Stoke brewery which boasts a 100-litre temperature-controlled pilot plant where new beer styles can be developed The superb Stoke beers created by the current McCashin generation pay a fi tting tribute to Terryrsquos legacy

Craft beer production and the emergence of micro-breweries has been on an upward curve for the last decade but the situa-tion some thirty years ago was quite different beer production was restricted to just two giant breweries Enter former All Black Terry McCashin a Picton publican who could not fi nd a beer he wanted to drink or serve to his customers With nothing else in the offi ng Terry decided to produce his own

The fi rst hurdle Terry had to overcome was red tape in fi fty years no-one had applied for a licence to brew beer and the only person who knew about the procedures and documentation had died In 1981 however with licence fi nally in hand The McCashin Brewery opened in Stoke Nelson making itself at home in the old Rochdale Cider factory which the family had purchased

Under head brewer Jim Pollitt McCashinrsquos Mac beers were naturally produced using only malts hops and yeast The result-ing brews ndash produced over a 12-week period and matured to perfection ndash proved to be exceedingly popular In time the Mac brand changed hands and production moved to the North Island

The McCashin family have remained in the game however with Terryrsquos son Dean and his wife Emma reopening the historic Stoke brewery from where they produce their award-winning Rochdale ciders and a premium range of Stoke craft beers The beers are batched brewed from traditional McCashin family recipes using pure Palaeo water Nelson hops premium malts and bespoke yeast with no artifi cial colouring or additives The innovation that is the hallmark of the McCashin family is very much to the fore in the Stoke brewery which boasts a 100-litre temperature-controlled pilot plant where new beer styles can be developed The superb Stoke beers created by the current McCashin generation pay a fi tting tribute to Terryrsquos legacy

Since its return to our shelves in sleek new livery customers have been waxing lyrical about the last time they drank Mateus roseacute Its origins date back to 1942 when Fernando Guedes set out to put Portugal on the vinous map from his small family winery Sogrape Vinhos which rose by the end of the eighties to become the largest wine producer in Portugal

The centrepiece of his agenda was the ubiquitous Mateus the fi rst wine to attain true global notoriety and today boasting a presence in more than 125 countries Salvador Guedes grandson of Fernando explains lsquoOur challenge is to sustain the Mateus as we pass it from generation to generation and thatrsquos why every so often we make subtle changes to the bottlersquo Regardless of outer appearances the unique essence of this iconic wine remains unchanged

Craft beer production and the emergence of micro-breweries has been on an upward curve for the last decade but the situa-tion some thirty years ago was quite different beer production was restricted to just two giant breweries Enter former All Black Terry McCashin a Picton publican who could not fi nd a beer he wanted to drink or serve to his customers With nothing else in the offi ng Terry decided to produce his own

The fi rst hurdle Terry had to overcome was red tape in fi fty years no-one had applied for a licence to brew beer and the only person who knew about the procedures and documentation had died In 1981 however with licence fi nally in hand The McCashin Brewery opened in Stoke Nelson making itself at home in the old Rochdale Cider factory which the family had purchased

The vines are between 30 and 70 years old and enjoy a southsouth-eastern exposure that is highly conducive to ripening with the clay and limestone soils typical of the region bestowing their own unique characteristics on the Chardonnay fruit via fruity and fl oral nuances There is particularly with the blended Pouilly-Fuisseacutes a skill in the assemblage that sets this area of Burgundy apart

The Val delle Rose estate is located at Poggio la Mozza in southern Tuscanyrsquos Maremma area a beautiful coastal region that is home to great wines like Sassicia and Ornellaia The southern part of Tuscany is dramatically different to the north remaining relatively unspoilt

When the Cecchi family fi rst invested in Maremma in 1996 they started with a mere 25ha of poorly maintained vineyards which they have assiduously replanted and replenished adding on new vine-yards to fi nally cover an impressive 90ha Val delle Rose is the newest of their four properties an on-site winery soon to be completed

The Tuscan Maremma is one of the new frontiers of quality Italian viticulture its climatic characteristics very favourable to cultivation From Maremma the family produce Vermentino and Morellino di Scansano

The vines are between 30 and 70 years old and enjoy a southsouth-eastern exposure that is highly conducive to ripening with the clay and limestone soils typical of the region bestowing their own unique characteristics on the Chardonnay fruit via fruity and fl oral nuances There is particularly with the blended Pouilly-Fuisseacutes a skill in the assemblage that sets this area of Burgundy apart

Craft beer production and the emergence of micro-breweries has been on an upward curve for the last decade but the situa-tion some thirty years ago was quite different beer production was restricted to just two giant breweries Enter former All Black Terry McCashin a Picton publican who could not fi nd a beer he wanted to drink or serve to his customers With nothing else in the offi ng Terry decided to produce his own

The fi rst hurdle Terry had to overcome was red tape in fi fty years no-one had applied for a licence to brew beer and the only person who knew about the procedures and documentation had died In 1981 however with licence fi nally in hand The McCashin Brewery opened in Stoke Nelson making itself at home in the old Rochdale Cider factory which the family had purchased

Under head brewer Jim Pollitt McCashinrsquos Mac beers were naturally produced using only malts hops and yeast The result-ing brews ndash produced over a 12-week period and matured to perfection ndash proved to be exceedingly popular In time the Mac brand changed hands and production moved to the North Island

The McCashin family have remained in the game however with Terryrsquos son Dean and his wife Emma reopening the historic Stoke brewery from where they produce their award-winning Rochdale ciders and a premium range of Stoke craft beers The beers are batched brewed from traditional McCashin family recipes using pure Palaeo water Nelson hops premium malts and bespoke yeast with no artifi cial colouring or additives The innovation that is the hallmark of the McCashin family is very much to the fore in the Stoke brewery which boasts a 100-litre temperature-controlled pilot plant where new beer styles can be developed The superb Stoke beers created by the current McCashin generation pay a fi tting tribute to Terryrsquos legacy

The vines are between 30 and 70 years old and enjoy a southsouth-eastern exposure that is highly conducive to ripening with the clay and limestone soils typical of the region bestowing their own unique characteristics on the Chardonnay fruit via fruity and fl oral nuances There is particularly with the blended Pouilly-Fuisseacutes a skill in the assemblage that sets this area of Burgundy apart

The winery is based on 20 hectares of vines in Briones that are not used for Allende While the Allende wines are serious in nature ndash tannic wines derived from vines immersed in iron-rich clay ndash the Finca Nueva expressions are fruitier and more immediately accessible grown on largely calcareous soils and crafted with a new generation of wine drinkers in mind
