I have not done the statistics, but it is quite possible that New Zealand is the country with the highest portion of quality wine compared to total production. (Let’s not get into the question of what “quality” is here. It’s complicated and we can discuss that we you come on the tour.) It is certainly one of the countries with the highest per-bottle price for the wine they export.
Another reason to go there is that it has developed into one of the world’s top producers in a very short time. A success case story. The great thing with this is that when you go there you are likely to meet several of the original wine entrepreneurs, those who started the wave of good wine.
A third reason is that export markets tend to focus on sauvignon blanc. There’s nothing wrong with “SB”, on the contrary, it’s great, and much more diverse than you would think. But there’s so much more. World-leading pinot noir, of course, but also syrah, cabernet, viognier, fiano, riesling, and so on.
Finally, it is such a beautiful country to travel in, stunning nature, vast spaces and wonderful people. Join us on the New Zealand wine tour. We’ll show you all that.
