The festive season is always a great time to pop a cork and pour a bubbly – but there’s even more excuse to celebrate this time around.
Wind the clock back 20 years and Pinot Noir was barely known, leave alone grown, in New Zealand. But today there are plenty of reasons to celebrate the variety, and on 18 August, you can do just that.
Intense, expressive, and fruit-driven, the Pinot Noir grape has found a home in New Zealand, and this International Pinot Noir Day is the perfect time to celebrate this notoriously fickle grape.
As Pinot Noir ages, it develops distinct aromas and flavours that contribute to its complexity. So far, more than 40,000 distinct compounds have been detected to comprise Pinot Noir’s chemical matrix, and it is believed there are still more to be found.
Celebrate NZ Rosé Day on Wednesday 5 February
New Zealand Rosé comes in a rainbow of pink hues, from palest salmon to deep watermelon. Typically, they’re light-bodied, fruit-focused and just off-dry in style.
