We're on the road to Kiwiland, hopping from region to region (do kiwi hop?), taking a peek therein and celebrating the wonderous quality and diversity to be found upon these shores, from the refined and esoteric delights of a Brajkovich Chardonnay to the vinous glories extracted from Central Otago's savage grandeur.
Elsewhere, we dig into Mud House without getting our hands remotely dirty, check out the new 6-bottle packs from Matakana's Brewing maestros, Sawmill, pop the cork on Quartz Reef's eco-friendly sparkling wines, review some of New Zealand’s high-flying spirit producers, feature new vintage releases from Allan Scott and the Craggy Range Prestige collection and hand out some tips for your winter drinking. There is, too, a piece on Australian winemakers Knappstein, a large offering from NZ’s historic Church Road winery and the usual monthly roundup of our top ten wines.
