WINE.

DIScOvER OuR WORLD.

New Zealand is one of the world’s youngest nations. Maori created its traditional cultural expression, and just as Maori artists today are reinterpreting ancient craftworks — such as kahu (cloaks, typically of feather, pictured) in new forms and materials — so our grape growers and winemakers are innovating in the vineyard and winery.

100% CoMMitted to exCellenCe

new Zealand’s wine producing history extends back to the founding of the nation in the 1800s. it was the introduction to Marlborough’s astonishing sauvignon blanc in the 1980s that saw new Zealand wine explode onto the international scene, courtesy of world beating performances in international competitions and rapturous critical reviews.

While Marlborough retains its status as one of the world’s foremost wine producing regions, the quality of wines from elsewhere in the country has also garnered international acclaim.

by world standards new Zealand’s production capacity is tiny, accounting for less than

1% of total volume. though the average price tag for a new Zealand wine is a reflection of its desirability, few would question its ability to deliver excellent value for money.in fact, it’s the unswerving commitment to quality over quantity that has won new Zealand its reputation as a premium producer.

this commitment is evident from the vineyard to the winery, along with sustainability leadership, new Zealand continues to pioneer advances such as canopy management, stainless steel fermentation techniques and screwcaps.

WHAT DOES “SuSTAINAbLE” mEAN fOR NEW ZEALAND WINE?

For us, sustainability means delivering excellent wine to consumers in a way that enables the natural environment, and the businesses and communities involved, to thrive.under our sustainability Policy, wine must be made from 100% certified grapes in fully certified winemaking facilities, and certification must be through an independently audited programme. Central to our sustainability policies is a commitment to keep improving, as new research is undertaken and new technologies are developed. We have an ongoing leadership role in industry research and development projects and, as a result, we’re helping to raise the global bar for sustainability.seven “pillars” represent our key areas of focus, and we provide guidance and support around each to our members.

sustainaBle winegrowing new Zealand is integral to the ongoing success of new Zealand wine. Members are committed to protecting the unique places that make our famous wines by reducing the use of chemicals, energy, water and packaging, and reusing and recycling materials and waste.

Pillars oF sustainabilitY

BiodiVersity

soil, water, air

Byproducts

people

Business

Without the wealth we’re able to harvest from animals, plants and microorganisms, humans couldn’t survive. new Zealand wine producers cultivate and nurture diversity in the vineyard.

energy

cHeMicals

even though new Zealand draws most of its electricity from renewable sources, the energy demands of wine production sees the industry employing reduction strategies in all activities.

the world expects a certain quality from new Zealand wine; to maintain standards we need to mitigate against disease and pests. Chemical use on the vineyard, however, is the last resort.

reduce, reuse and recycle are the watchwords in new Zealand vineyards and wineries. Many byproducts are routinely diverted from the waste stream and turned to beneficial use.

a sustainable wine industry is for the benefit of people, and its success depends on delivery by people. new Zealand wine producers take their community responsibilities seriously.

sustainable practices enable wine producers to add value in a number of meaningful ways, while also making long-term cost savings and are therefore critical to the legacy of our wine industry.

blessed with an array of distinctive soils, abundant fresh water and famously clear air,  our wine producers go to great lengths to take care of these treasures. Energy

auckland

one large wine operation finds energy efficiencies offer significant savings, so the winery employs heat recovery systems to store waste heat from refrigeration for use in winemaking. night air cooling, and daytime illumination by natural light are two other successful initiatives.

Soil, Water, Air: Soil

central otago

For a winery with vineyards on flash flood-prone slopes, soil health is vital. to sustain their fragile soils they’re increasing organic matter by allowing maximum sward growth before mowing; judiciously applying compost-enriched bio-char, and balancing soil nutrient levels to preserve the low fertility that gives essential character to their wines.

Biodiversity: Wetlands

MarlBorougH

rich in indigenous biodiversity, wetlands have high conservation value. one winery began restoring 50 hectares of wetland in 2004 and has since planted over 3000 native plants — with the help of staff and local communities. along with positive ecological outcomes, the project has yielded wide-ranging business benefits.

Chemicals

gisBorne

each year, local ladybird populations boom in response to the numbers of the damaging pest mealy bug. “it takes some fortitude not to jump in and spray,” says one viticulturist, “but we endeavor to use no insecticides.” Planting cover crops to encourage ladybirds and other predators has significantly reduced use of chemical controls.

pREmIum, SuSTAINAbLE, DIvERSEas an isolated, cool-climate island nation, new Zealand enjoys an undeniable advantage when it comes to producing distinctive, ultra high quality wines.

no place is more than 130km, or 80 miles, inland and the proximity of our vineyards to the ocean has a pronounced effect on the character of our wines. Mild, sunny summers and marked differences between day and night time temperatures in many regions slow the ripening of the grapes and allow them to develop pure, intense varietal

flavours. this is the foundation of new Zealand wines’ elegance and power, and helps explain their famed balance, structure and food friendliness.

and with growing regions extending 1,600km (1,000 miles) — from latitude 36° in the subtropical north to latitude 46° in the mountainous south (the most southerly vineyards in the world) — regional diversity is dramatic, enabling a striking array of wine varieties and styles to flourish.

sauVignon Blanc

20,027ha*in 1973, as Marlborough’s first sauvignon blanc vines were being planted, no one could have predicted that their yields would attain superstar status within a couple of decades. the explosive flavours of new Zealand sauvignon blanc have dazzled wine critics throughout the world, setting the international benchmark for the style. Pungently aromatic, new Zealand sauvignon blanc assails the senses with green capsicum (bell-pepper) and gooseberry characters through lush passionfruit and tropical fruit overtones. other notes include freshcut grass, tomato stalks, melons or limes.

pinot noir

5,569ha*native to burgundy and notoriously fickle (it thrives only in the most optimal of environments), the Pinot noir grape has found in new Zealand a home away from home. new Zealand Pinot noir shows fine tannins and elegance with the added excitement of vibrant, intense fruit and secondary herbal, spice and game characters. the huge diversity in climates and soils in new Zealand enables a wide range of styles from the Pinot producing regions.

red Blends

1,976ha*syrah distinguished by its bright, spicy flavours and elegant texture, akin to elegant northern rhône style, new Zealand syrah is crammed full of plum and savoury black pepper flavours and sometimes even a hint of violets. Cabernet sauvignon/ Merlot blends by augmenting the structure and finesse of Cabernet sauvignon with the vibrant, ripe fruit of Merlot, winemakers in new Zealand’s warmer northerly regions are creating elegant, yet powerfully intense, red wine blends. these blends are notable for their purity of fruit expression and are known for being rich and well structured, showing characters of plum, blackcurrant and chocolate.

cHardonnay

3,211ha*the classic new Zealand Chardonnay is mouth-filling, with concentrated citrus & tropical fruit, balanced by crisp acidity & refined minerality. the warmer nZ regions typically yield full to medium bodied wines with round, rich flavours, whilst the cooler south island regions tend to produce medium to light bodied styles with greater acidity, minerality & fresh citrus flavours. as a wine, Chardonnay strongly reflects new Zealand’s unique terroir and the huge diversity within its regions.

aroMatics

3,531ha*riesling the south island’s bright days, cool nights and long, dry autumns create the perfect climate for riesling. style ranges from bone dry to lushly sweet. Pinot gris grown throughout the country, new Zealand Pinot gris is more akin to alsace in style than the drier Pinot grigio, with notes of apple, pear, honeysuckle, spice and bread. gewürztraminer new Zealand gewürztraminer is extremely fragrant, with rose petals, lychee, cinnamon and ginger characters commonly seen.

exPression.

waipara westWaipara West is situated on north facing terraces along the Waipara river, 45 miles north of Christchurch. only handpicked grapes from their own vineyard are used for the wines. as the yields, in all varieties, are so low, the wines are generally intense and have an inherent structure. their winemaking is aimed at retaining rather than enhancing these characteristics - allowing a framework for each wine to develop and evolve in bottle to provide a wine with complexity and interest.
