Looking at the serious end of New Zealand wines (retail £15 to £30), where quality is simply stellar and gets better all the time. Kiwi wines are now firmly established as world-class, indeed world-beating, especially for Pinot Noir and posh Chardonnay.
Many of New Zealand’s top estates and winemakers will be represented including: Cloudy Bay, Dog Point, Greywacke/Kevin Judd, Tinpot Hut/Fiona Turner, Blank Canvas/Matt Thompson, Lani/Alana McGettigan, Trinity Hill. And yes, there is NZ life beyond Sauvignon Blanc, we’ll also be showing: Pinot Noir; Syrah; Chardonnay; Gruner Veltliner; Albarino; Gewurztraminer, maybe more.
* The cheese/meat platter is an appetizer to accompany wine, it’s not a whole meal. Further food is available at the bar during the event.
** Tasting samples are priced at roughly the per-centilitre retail price of the wine, which is a very good deal.
