Description
Once, for fine Pinot, you had to look to Burgundy, a hard region to understand, even if you were lucky enough to afford its prices. Today, a few quality hotspots exist around the world, and New Zealand’s Central Otago leads the way. The world’s most southerly wine region, and the country’s highest, has “almost too much going for it� (Jancis Robinson MW). Its ideal climate delivers “sit up and notice me Pinot Noir!� (The Times) — “dramatic� wines that “taste like no other� (Wine Spectator). Estates such as Mount Difficulty and Felton Road ask $60-$100 a bottle for top releases.
