The BEST Central Otago Wineries in New Zealand!!!
The BEST Central Otago Wineries in New Zealand!!!
New Zealand is famous for its wines. In Central Otago, NZ, we checked out five different wineries. It was surprising to see many opened wineries because we went there during the off-season (winter months in the Southern Hemisphere). It was a great opportunity to check out these wineries without the large crowds. We checked out these wineries:
-Akarua Wineries
-The Lazy Dog Wineries
-Mt. Difficult Winerieis
-Wild Earth Winerieis
-Aurum Wineries
All of these places produced some of best wines I have ever tasted. If you've never been to New Zealand, make sure you m ake a visit to the wineries in South Island, New Zealand. I promise you won't regret it. Remember- THE VOYAGE IS CONTAGIOUS!!!!

New Zealand Wine: Auckland Region - Kumeu River
James and I visited New Zealand a few years ago in October. Our north to south journey began by sweeping the country's main wine regions, from Auckland to Central Otago, passing through Hawke's Bay, Martinborough, Marlborough and Waipara/Canterbury.
New Zealand was the last piece of land on this planet to be settled by humans. Winemaking and vine growing in New Zealand dates back to the 1830s – only 600 years after it was settled – but it was not until the early 1970s that New Zealand started producing wines labeled by grape variety and vintage. Ever since then, the country has seen tremendous development in the size of its production, as well as in the quality of its wines.
Kiwis have an extensive wine culture. As we walked through the different wineries, we came across collections of empties from Burgundy, Bordeaux and even Barolo that were religiously exhibited in their offices.
New Zealanders know their wines well, but have a very strong sense of identity in how their land expresses the different varieties. The climatic conditions in New Zealand are hard to grasp for the newcomer; the green and lush sights are deceiving as we compare them to places like Europe or North America. One might assume that an area such as Martinborough – on the southern tip of the North Island – is inherently humid because it’s so green in the spring. But in fact, it is incredibly dry and marked by hot days and cold nights.
New Zealand has a very defined set of climatic conditions and this translates into well-defined styles of wine. However, it is a big country and the climatic conditions vary tremendously from one wine region to another.
In this video, Michael Brajkovich, MW and winemaker at Kumeu River wines, eloquently explains the effect that the excess of ultraviolet rays and climatic conditions in Kumeu, Auckland has in vineyard management and on the wine itself. The excess of UV light in New Zealand is a result of the ozone hole that sits on top of Antarctica and that also affects other well-established southern wine growing countries, such as Argentina, Chile, South Africa and Australia.
Inspired by white Burgundy, Michael notes that a main difference with his wine is that he gets a brightness and sharpness in the fruit, which may have to do with all the UV light in the environment. Kumeu River is best known for their incredible Chardonnays, and the difference in soil composition – with Kumeu’s being clay – directly affects the minerality of the wine, as well as adds a unique chalky, textural element.
After discussing winemaking tactics, James moves on to taste some older vintages of Kumeu River, which still have great structure in their age, dispelling the notion that New Zealand wines shouldalways be drunk young. Michael admits that the aging process of his wines is very vineyard dependent, as vineyards also have the ability to age.
Watch as James and Michael discuss all of the above, and see what goes into the wines at Kumeu River.

Waiheke: Where to eat on New Zealand's wine island
Auckland (CNN)Basking in its own microclimate off the coast of Auckland, New Zealand's Waiheke was traditionally an escape for alternative lifestylers running from the city's rat race. Time and transport have gradually caught up with the island and now day-trippers can sample its beaches, laid-back villages and -- famously -- its wine. The island is home to more than 20 vineyards -- about one for every 370 residents -- and plenty of them have great on-site restaurants where the food is as delicious as the wine. Here are five of the best Waiheke winery restaurants. MudbrickRead MoreMudbrick: Top-notch cuisine and gorgeous views. Mudbrick has been Waiheke restaurant royalty for nearly 20 years.
