Well, we finally got the summery Christmas we talk about every year, the one where the sky screams blue, cicadas are creating rhythms in your head and you’re running as fast as you can across the black sand. Although it feels a little churlish to say it, one does have to wonder whether there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing. The fact that a tinder-dry South Island was sweltering away in the mid-30s in the middle of January and threatening to spontaneously conflagrate gives reason for pause as we wonder just how close to some sort of global climatic annihilation we actually are. Residing quietly on the opposite side of the world to virtually everyone else, while hurricanes and giant firestorms wreak havoc there, can instil in one a false sense of immunity. What can we do? All sorts of things. Ditch the plastic. Buy sustainable. Take responsibility. The main thing, as with so many situations in life, is to push back against the inertia and make a start. Best foot forward, then. All the best for 2018.

John and Maragret Neylon purchased their Marlborough property in 1985. The waters of Rapaura Springs journey from the snow-capped Southern Alps, to be filtered through the aquifer bedrock and emerge, crystal clear, in the springs adjacent to the family home. Encouraged by his son Brendan, John planted Sauvignon Blanc grapes on the property, the vines nourished and sustained by the pristine waters. In 2007 the Neylon family made their first wines from their vineyard. The lifeblood of the winery, the springs that weave their way through the vineyard, are fastidiously monitored and maintained. A partnership was formed with the Wiffin family when a grapevine nursery was established to supply their vineyards and others in the region. It has involved the construction of a sizeable, state-of-the-art winemaking facility, with the families committed to sustainable vineyard and winemaking practices. They are supporters of Lincoln University’s Chair in Advanced Sustainable Viticulture, where water is a central theme. The Rapaura Springs wines are produced by the winemaking team of Michael Bann, Matt Thomson, Gus Altschwager and Sam Harrop MW, the fruit from the home property augmented by grapes sourced from key Marlborough sub-regions.

R I E S L I N G While wines in general display individual aromatic profiles, there is a select group of white wines, made from a category of grape varieties containing high levels of organic compounds known as terpenes, that are classified as ‘aromatic’. Terpenes are responsible for the enticing floral aromas, evoking the scents of rose petal or orange blossom, that can be so attractive. These aromatic qualities can, with something like a Gewürztraminer, jump out of the glass, while with a semi-aromatic variety such as Pinot Gris, it depends on the source of the fruit as to how enveloping the nose will be (Alsatian Pinot Gris vs Italian Pinot Grigio a case in point). The classic aromatic wines include Riesling, Viognier, Gewürztraminer and Muscat. Sauvignon Blanc joins the group through its flavour compounds relating to methoxypyrazines (think nettle, gooseberries and blackcurrant leaves). To extract the quintessential floral and mineral characters that distinguish aromatic wines, the vines are usually planted in marginal soils in cool climate regions. When the days start to lengthen, the aromatic components of the grapes gradually develop, and when they have reached the optimum ripeness and acidic balance they are harvested to ensure naturally high acidity and low-to-medium alcohol levels. Deciding the right time to pick these varieties, and how to harvest them, correlates to the pungency of the aromatics in your glass of wine. While the general wisdom is that hand-picking is best, studies in New Zealand have revealed machine harvesting Sauvignon Blanc may actually retain more of the desired aromatics in NZ expressions. During the fermentation process, the aromatic signature of each individual grape is magnified or subdued, the winemaker ultimately making the call as to whether retaining this is desired. Aromatic wines are produced in a variety of weights and textures and, stylistically, range from bone-dry, containing no natural sweetness, to off-dry styles that display hints of natural residual sugar. If the grapes have been left for late harvest or affected by botrytis, the wines can be intensely sweet. The dry and medium-dry styles tend to be lighter-bodied, with lower alcohol and higher acidity than many non-aromatic wines, which makes them ideal as aperitifs and superb partners to a wide selection of foods.

Germany’s Schloss Vollrads is one of the world’s oldest wineries. They produce Riesling in its myriad forms and nothing else. Their wines are elegant and complex, drawing upon a profound understanding of the variety. Spätlese means late harvest. A rich, concentrated wine that is, nonetheless, refreshingly light and delicate in character, the generous apricot characters balanced by a lightly bright, lemon-edged acidity, delivering a finish that is remarkably dry rather than sweet.
MUSCAT DE BEAUMES DE VENISE 2015 375ML CASE OF 6 $17.99 A BOTTLE Excellent sweet wine with a suitably opulent but intriguingly fresh palate. Lush aromatic notes of butterscotch, honey and oranges, with a delicious hint of quince and a touch of Provençal herbs to the palate as it signs off.

And look what we found! Chinese New Year! The 16th of February. It’s the Time of the Canine. Let’s face it: President Chump has pretty much claimed to have reinvented Christmas and rescued the festive season. Good grief.

You can, of course, purchase a margarita, or make one yourself, whenever you so feel inclined. But the perfect day would be on the 22nd of February, because that is the day otherwise known as National Margarita Day. Of the many tequila-based cocktails, the margarita, with its refreshing, tangy taste, is easily the best-known. Consisting of tequila, orange-flavoured liqueur and lime juice, it is frequently hailed as the quintessential Mexican cocktail, but in fact, no one knows exactly where it originated or who created it. Just one of a multitude of theories is that the margarita was invented by a Mexican restaurateur in the 1930s for a Ziegfield showgirl who was allergic to everything but tequila. It has also been plausibly suggested that it was derived from the Daisy, a drink that became popular in America during the Prohibition as people drifted over the border into Mexico for alcohol, with ‘Margarita’ the Spanish word for the daisy flower. Whatever its origins, it is now a global institution.
If you like beardy men swearing, then you may already be familiar with Joseph Wood and his idiosyncratic, potty-mouthed videos. If you are not, here’s a brief run-down: Liberty Brewing is all about huge beer; no holds barred, no pretension, just the best brews possible. From their Helensville digs, Joe and Christina Wood churn out a stylish array of ales, pilsners and stouts, consistently delivering a deluge of massive flavours that don’t know when to quit. Every year they soak up more awards, with no sign of slowing. In recent history, their The Kush IPA won the West Coast IPA Challenge, and their Prohibition won the Specialty, Experimental, Aged, Barrel & Wood Aged category at the Brewers Guild of New Zealand Awards. If you’re partial to delicious beers, you may know all this already. If you’re not, get hold of one of their irreverent beers and get ready to swear. In the vocabulary of Joseph Wood: ‘F*** that’s good beer!’
45ml tequila blanco 30ml freshly squeezed lime juice 15ml Cointreau Rub the rim of a pre-chilled cocktail glass with a wedge of lime and then spin the glass rim in salt. In a cocktail shaker combine tequila, Cointreau and lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake until totally chilled. Fill glass with fresh ice and strain the Margarita into the glass. That, then, is the classic version. If you want to mix it up a little, try adding a splash of Chambord.

Young Love. What’s that about? Apart from generating a rather intense play involving an intergenerational feud and teenage death, it has spawned an astonishing piece of real estate in Verona. In a house claiming to be the Capulets’, Juliet’s balcony, or more accurately, the walls of the courtyard beneath it play host to the ardent emotions of legions of lovelorn youngsters (many of them tourists) channelling their inner R&J and inscribing their steadfast loyalty to one another. Pasqua, being Italian, couldn’t help themselves and have created this no doubt tear-stained tribute to the unstoppable force that is Young Love. Cheers to that, we say.
