New Zealand

The birth of New Zealand's wine industry can be traced back to 1819, when a British missionary, the Rev. Reverend Samuel Marsden, arrived and planted the first vines on the North Island. Large-scale winemaking didn't really take hold until the 1970s.

New Zealand is famous for its awesome Sauvignon Blanc wines but did you also know that Bordeaux and Rhone grape varieties, like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, as well as Riesling, perform just as well, if not better than Sauvignon Blanc?

The most widely known of the 12 growing regions are Marlborough on South Island and Hawks Bay on North Island.

Pulpo Sauvignon Blanc

Pulpo Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand offers diners a rich and unique fruity aroma. In which there is a relatively large occurrence of passion fruit, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, plum, apple, pear, gooseberry. The wine has a very sour taste, smooth and dry acrid taste. But more wonderful is the gentle sweetness and a little bit of astringency that impresses on the tip of the tongue and also on the inside of the palate. The aftertaste is fresh and youthful, lingering and not letting go.
