Where are we traveling?

Marlborough Marlborough is New Zealand's largest wine region, with 24,000 hectares located in the northeast corner of New Zealand's South Island, bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and by mountain ranges. imposing mountains in the hinterland to the north and south. A broad alluvial plain extends from the coast and gradually rises giving a landscape of narrow valleys and gently sloping hills. Although boasting one of New Zealand's sunniest and driest climates, Marlborough's heat is tempered throughout the summer months by easterly sea breezes. Sauvignon Blanc remains the flagship product of the region but other grape varieties are also very successful in this country. Among the white grape varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling are the most common. In recent years, the region's first pinot noir vines have reached maturity and are now producing premium wines.

The little history of the country

New Zealand

product descriptions logo

Introduced in 1819, the cultivation of vines was greatly developed by Jean-Baptiste Pompallier, a French Marist missionary. Sent to Oceania in 1837, he settled in January 1838 to develop the New Zealand vineyards. The first quality vineyards were established in the Hawke's Bay region in the 19th and early 20th centuries. After the production hazards first due to Phylloxera and then to the First World War, this vineyard began to expand again during the Second World War when its surface area doubled. Today, New Zealand has 10 major wine regions spread between the North and South Islands, the largest of which is Marlborough. Most of New Zealand's wine regions have a maritime climate. The long, thin shape of the country means that vineyards are never more than 120km from the coast and most are even much closer than that (with the exception of the semi-continental region of Central Otago). A spine of mountains running through the center of the country protects most of the major wine regions from the strong westerly winds from the Tasman Sea known as the "Roaring Forties". Due to these winds, there are few wine growing regions on the west coast of New Zealand. The quality and reputation of New Zealand wines is well established. Indeed, this country produces some of the best and most recognized Sauvignon Blanc in the world. And it is no coincidence that New Zealand has succeeded in making Sauvignon blanc its symbol, just like its sheep, its kiwi and its legendary haka!
