The world's most southerly vineyards operate in a damp cool climate. Except for South Island's Central Otago New Zealand's wine regions lie on or close to the coast. What eventually catapulted New Zealand into the limelight was, of course Sauvignon Blanc. There is an oft - expressed feeling among wine Connoisseur that Sauvignon is not quite a major league grape variety, owing to its brash and relatively unmalleable character.

If any region is likely to persuade consumers to come down on the other side of the argument, it will be the Marlborough district of New Zealand's South Island. There is more uplifting, happy fruit flavour in New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc than any other dry white wine on earth. Sauvignon Blanc was followed by fruit - fuelled Chardonnay and Riesling.

There are quiet dramatic stylistic differences between wineries, some emphasizing the green, herbaceous flavours of gooseberries, asparagus and freshly-washed watercress, others plunging headlong into tropicality with mango, passion fruit, pineapple and musky Charentais melon. Sauvignon Blanc is one exciting wine when it wants to be.
