New Zealand Wine Annual Trade Tasting

A LAND LIKE NO OTHER Tucked away in a remote corner of the globe is a place of glorious unspoiled landscapes, exotic flora and fauna, and a culture renowned for its spirit of youthful innovation. New Zealand is a world of pure discovery, and nothing distilLs its essence more perfectly than a glass of New Zealand wine. DISCOVER our world.
100% Committed to excellence New Zealand’s wine producing history extends back to the founding of the nation in the 1800s. It was the introduction to Marlborough’s astonishing Sauvignon Blanc in the 1980s that saw New Zealand wine explode onto the international scene, courtesy of world beating performances in international competitions and rapturous critical reviews. While Marlborough retains its status as one of the world’s foremost wine producing regions, the quality of wines from elsewhere in the country has also garnered international acclaim. By world standards New Zealand’s production capacity is tiny, accounting for less than
1% of total volume. Though the average price tag for a New Zealand wine is a reflection of its desirability, few would question its ability to deliver excellent value for money. In fact, it’s the unswerving commitment to quality over quantity that has won New Zealand its reputation as a premium producer.

of New Zealand vineyard area operates under independently audited sustainability programmes
This commitment is evident from the vineyard to the winery, along with sustainability leadership, New Zealand continues to pioneer advances such as canopy management, stainless steel fermentation techniques and screwcaps.
“For a small country with a relatively young wine industry (at least on the international level), New Zealand really has made a name for themselves over recent years. The wines retain an air of mystery that is somewhat unique in this ever-shrinking modern world of ours.” Gregory Dal Piaz, Snooth.com /nzwine /newzealandwinegrowers New Zealand is one of the world’s youngest nations. Maori created its traditional cultural expression, and just as Maori artists today are reinterpreting ancient craftworks — such as kahu (cloaks, typically of feather, pictured) in new forms and materials — so our grape growers and winemakers are innovating in the vineyard and winery.

JOIN THE CONVERSATION
What does “sustainable” mean for New Zealand wine? For us, sustainability means delivering excellent wine to consumers in a way that enables the natural environment, and the businesses and communities involved, to thrive. Under our Sustainability Policy, wine must be made from 100% certified grapes in fully certified winemaking facilities, and certification must be through an independently audited programme. Central to our sustainability policies is a commitment to keep improving, as new research is undertaken and new technologies are developed. We have an ongoing leadership role in industry research and development projects and, as a result, we’re helping to raise the global bar for sustainability. Seven “pillars” represent our key areas of focus, and we provide guidance and support around each to our members.
PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY Biodiversity
Without the wealth we’re able to harvest from animals, plants and microorganisms, humans couldn’t survive. New Zealand wine producers cultivate and nurture diversity in the vineyard.
Soil, Water, Air
Blessed with an array of distinctive soils, abundant fresh water and famously clear air, our wine producers go to great lengths to take care of these treasures.
Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand is integral to the ongoing success of New Zealand wine. Members are committed to protecting the unique places that make our famous wines by reducing the use of chemicals, energy, water and packaging, and by reusing and recycling materials and waste.
Energy Auckland
Even though New Zealand draws most of its ENERGY
electricity from renewable sources, the energy demands of wine production sees the industry employing reduction strategies in all activities.
CHEMICALS
The world expects a certain quality from New Zealand wine; to maintain standards we need to mitigate against disease and pests. Chemical use on the vineyard, however, is the last resort.
BYPRODUCTS
Reduce, reuse and recycle are the watchwords in New Zealand vineyards and wineries. Many byproducts are routinely diverted from the waste stream and turned to beneficial use.
PEOPLE
A sustainable wine industry is for the benefit of people, and its success depends on delivery by people. New Zealand wine producers take their community responsibilities seriously.
BUSINESS
Sustainable practices enable wine producers to add value in a number of meaningful ways, while also making long-term cost savings and are therefore critical to the legacy of our wine industry.
One large wine operation finds energy efficiencies offer significant savings, so the winery employs heat recovery systems to store waste heat from refrigeration for use in winemaking. Night air cooling, and daytime illumination by natural light are two other successful initiatives.
Chemicals Gisborne
Each year, local ladybird populations boom in response to the numbers of the damaging pest mealy bug. “It takes some fortitude not to jump in and spray,” says one viticulturist, “but we endeavor to use no insecticides.” Planting cover crops to encourage ladybirds and other predators has significantly reduced use of chemical controls. Soil, Water, Air: Soil Central Otago
For a winery with vineyards on flash flood-prone slopes, soil health is vital. To sustain their fragile soils they’re increasing organic matter by allowing maximum sward growth before mowing; judiciously applying compostenriched bio-char, and balancing soil nutrient levels to preserve the low fertility that gives essential character to their wines.
Biodiversity: Wetlands Marlborough
Rich in indigenous biodiversity, wetlands have high conservation value. One winery began restoring 50 hectares of wetland in 2004 and has since planted over 3000 native plants — with the help of staff and local communities. Along with positive ecological outcomes, the project has yielded wide-ranging business benefits.

3
Key varieties (Planted hectares, 2013)* REd blends
2,012ha* CHARDONNAY
3,253ha*
The classic New Zealand Chardonnay is mouth-filling, with concentrated citrus & tropical fruit, balanced by crisp acidity & refined minerality. The warmer NZ regions typically yield full to medium bodied wines with round, rich flavours, whilst the cooler South Island regions tend to produce medium to light bodied styles with greater acidity, minerality & fresh citrus flavours. As a wine, Chardonnay strongly reflects New Zealand’s unique terroir and the huge diversity within its regions.
Syrah Distinguished by its bright, spicy flavours and elegant texture, akin to elegant Northern Rhône style, New Zealand Syrah is crammed full of plum and savoury black pepper flavours and sometimes even a hint of violets. Cabernet Sauvignon/ Merlot blends By augmenting the structure and finesse of Cabernet Sauvignon with the vibrant, ripe fruit of Merlot, winemakers in New Zealand’s warmer northerly regions are creating elegant, yet powerfully intense, red wine blends. These blends are notable for their purity of fruit expression and are known for being rich and well structured, showing characters of plum, blackcurrant and chocolate.
AROMATICS
3,617ha* Riesling The South Island’s bright days, cool nights and long, dry autumns create the perfect climate for Riesling. Style ranges from bone dry to lushly sweet. Pinot Gris Grown throughout the country, New Zealand Pinot Gris is more akin to Alsace in style than the drier Pinot Grigio, with notes of apple, pear, honeysuckle, spice and bread. Gewürztraminer New Zealand Gewürztraminer is extremely fragrant, with rose petals, lychee, cinnamon and ginger characters commonly seen.
Sauvignon Blanc
20,429ha*
Pinot noir
5,425ha* Native to Burgundy and notoriously fickle (it thrives only in the most optimal of environments), the Pinot Noir grape has found in New Zealand a home away from home. New Zealand Pinot Noir shows fine tannins and elegance with the added excitement of vibrant, intense fruit and secondary herbal, spice and game characters. The huge diversity in climates and soils in New Zealand enables a wide range of styles from the Pinot producing regions.
4 Dublin 2014
In 1973, as Marlborough’s first Sauvignon Blanc vines were being planted, no one could have predicted that their yields would attain superstar status within a couple of decades. The explosive flavours of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc have dazzled wine critics throughout the world, setting the international benchmark for the style. Pungently aromatic, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc assails the senses with green capsicum (bell-pepper) and gooseberry characters through lush passionfruit and tropical fruit overtones. Other notes include freshcut grass, tomato stalks, melons or limes.
PREMIUM, SUSTAINABLE, DIVERSE As an isolated, cool-climate island nation, New Zealand enjoys an undeniable advantage when it comes to producing distinctive, ultra high quality wines.
flavours. This is the foundation of New Zealand wines’ elegance and power, and helps explain their famed balance, structure and food friendliness.
No place is more than 130km, or 80 miles, inland and the proximity of our vineyards to the ocean has a pronounced effect on the character of our wines. Mild, sunny summers and marked differences between day and night time temperatures in many regions slow the ripening of the grapes and allow them to develop pure, intense varietal
And with growing regions extending 1,600km (1,000 miles) — from latitude 36° in the subtropical north to latitude 46° in the mountainous south (the most southerly vineyards in the world) — regional diversity is dramatic, enabling a striking array of wine varieties and styles to flourish.

Your partner in wine JF Hillebrand is the world’s leading specialist logistics service provider to the wine industry. With a global network of 47 offices throughout the world’s key wine import and export regions, we offer innovative and reliable logistics services to customers. Our office in New Zealand was founded in 2002, and currently transports more wine from New Zealand to Ireland than any other logistics service provider. We provide a full range of logistics services to the New Zealand wine trade on both imports and exports, and we are delighted to once again be supporting the annual New Zealand Trade Tastings in London and Dublin.
Protection during transportation In the wine industry, our focus is on quality, and winemakers realise that quality in production means quality in consumption. However, shippers must also consider quality in transport, to ensure the investment made in production is not compromised during transportation. Purchasing a higher value product, as a consumer, we are investing in the belief that our purchase has been treated in a way that ensures the experience is as intended and that the wine is in the best possible condition. New Zealand wine travels thousands of miles across the world through a range of climates. This journey exposes the wine to varying extremes of temperature and humidity, with the obvious risk to wine quality and packaging. For example an increase in temperature for white wine to +30°C/+86°F and red to +35°C/+98°F is known to increase the incidence of Turbidity (cloudiness).
Services from New Zealand New Zealand is synonymous with the creation of a wide variety of very high quality wines, produced in relatively small quantities, hence the need for an ultra reliable and cost effective groupage consolidation service to enable these special wines to access and realize their market potential abroad. JF Hillebrand’s groupage and consolidation services provide an ideal solution for small consignments of New Zealand wine to Ireland and any other part of the world. Our less than container load Groupage service enables shippers to ship exactly what they need, when they need it, providing maximum flexibility. Our consolidation services, meanwhile, allow shippers to consolidate multiple small orders into a full load, or consolidate with other shippers, to have the freight cost spread across all the wine in the container. • Wine only services, with no risk of cross contamination from other products • All our groupage containers utilise cutting-edge temperature control methods to maintain quality • The tariff includes All Risks Marine Cargo Insurance - the only exclusions are Duties and Taxes – so the shipper knows precisely what cost to expect
• Our service operates fixed day, fortnightly departures
• Scheduled shipping services to Ireland via our UK hub, fully traceable through Axis, JF Hillebrand´s Order Management System Alongside our fortnightly, wine-only groupage service from New Zealand our full loads service compliments the quality of the New Zealand wine product, providing the optimum shipping solution for customers who have varying needs for transportation.

Attuned to the cycles of nature, Maori developed the pitau design (double spiral, pictured) to represent natural generation, growth and nurture. Its continuous flow, in and out, also evokes the continuous evolution of New Zealand wine styles as our winemakers strive to coax every nuance of local character and flavour out of each harvest.

Self-Pour Educational Table
New Zealand Pinot Gris Self-Pour Seminar With the first serious plantings only appearing in the early 1990’s, Pinot Gris has enjoyed a dramatic rise to fame and is now the third most popular white variety. Grown throughout the country, New Zealand Pinot Gris is more akin to Alsace in style than the drier Pinot Grigio, with notes of apple, pear, honeysuckle, spice and bread. The warmer North Island climate tends to create ripe, fat, oily styles whilst the cooler South Island produces tighter wines with great structure.

Tiki Wine & Vineyard
At Tiki we believe great wine is created in the vineyard and is an expression of place, people and time. With this in mind we selected Marlborough in NZ as the region where the world best Sauvignon Blancs have been crafted over the last few decades. We then searched Marlborough for high altitude terroir that would produce wines of elegance and distinction. We selected three vineyards in the upper reaches of the famous Wairau Valley and spent years nurturing these vineyards, and building a team of passionate people to produce low yielding grapes of outstanding quality.

Craggy Range began with the desire to create a legacy. In 1997 Terry Peabody was introduced to MW, Steve Smith. Terry sensed an exciting possibility in New Zealand, the climate and spirit of the people aligned with his own philosophy and desire to cut a new path. He wanted to create wines that would become internationally regarded as New World classics. The two made an important decision from the beginning - select and source the best land in the country, and plant vines perfectly suited to that soil and climate.
