NZL once boasted the most expensive average bottle (retail) price in the world.....then Marlborough Sauv. happened. Deman has levelled up now and NZL is rightly sought after for it's stunning neo-classical expressions of Pinot Noir and Syrah. Climate change has prompted many to start with new cultivars such as Riesling, Gruner Veltliner & Verdehlo, with terrific results.
