New Zealand

The trend of fine wines coming out of New Zealand is similar in many ways to the developments in California. Areas that would otherwise be too warm to grow wine grapes are cooled by ocean breezes. Many of the wineries are only recently discovering which grapes are most successful in which regions.

Most of New Zealand's wines come from white grapes. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are the most planted grape varieties. For red wines, the biggest producer is Pinot Noir, which is projected to earn the same attention for New Zealand as Shiraz did for Australia.
