New Zealand wines.......
One of the great surprises here in New Zealand for us has been the tremendous quality and selection of NZ wines. We have always enjoyed New World wines, Australian reds being our favourites.
However, whilst the reds here are thin on the ground (although we did get to try a lovely Central Otago Pinot Noir), the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris that we have tried have been exceptional.
We were particularly enchanted with a Sav Blanc from "Thornbury" - those of you who live in our home town of Bristol will appreciate the reference to Thornbury (a thriving village on the outskirts of town). We will miss many things about New Zealand, their delightful wines will be one of them.
