Explore New Zealand wines, renowned for their purity and vibrant fruit, from aromatic Sauvignon Blanc to elegant Pinot Noir and increasingly impressive Syrah and Chardonnay.
Pinot Grigio, also called Pinot Gris, makes whites ranging from crisp pear-and-citrus styles to rich, spiced wines. Northern Italy and Alsace are famous sources, offering refreshing everyday bottles and textured wines for food.
Chenin Blanc is a versatile white grape known for apple, pear, citrus and honeyed flavours. It is grown especially in France’s Loire Valley and South Africa, producing dry, sparkling and sweet wines.
There isn’t a single “best” wine with salmon, but Pinot Noir is often considered the most versatile overall choice thanks to its bright acidity, silky tannins and delicate red fruit. For sashimi, choose dry Riesling or Champagne. For grilled salmon, Chardonnay and Gamay are excellent alternatives.
Syrah and Shiraz are two names for the same dark-skinned red grape. It typically produces dry, full-bodied wines with flavours of blackberry, plum, black pepper and spice. It is most famous in the Rhône Valley and across Australia, where styles range from elegant and savoury to rich and powerful.
