Aotearoa, New Zealand. Home to Dhall & Nash as well as a number ZEALAND of world renowned wine regions, including Central Otago, which MATAKANA holds the title of the world’s southernmost wine region. New Zealand is known the world over for producing exemplary HAWKE’S BAY , with 60% of its planted area (22,085 of total 37,129 hectares in 2017) being dedicated to the variety. MARTINBOROUGH New Zealand Pinot Noirs are also highly sought after and praised, particularly those from Martinborough, Marlborough and Central WAIRARAPA Otago. That doesn’t mean, however, that New Zealand isn’t capable of making fantastic renditions of many diffierent varieties, from rich MARLBOROUGH Chardonnays to punchy Gamays.

Winemaking in New Zealand can be traced back to the 19th WAIPARA Century, during the colonial period. Keen oenologist James Busby, also known for his part in drafting the Treaty of Waitangi, was WAITAKI known to grow grapes on his land near Waitangi in 1836.

New Zealand’s climate is largely maritime, with cooler summer CENTRAL OTAGO seasons and milder winters than would be expected at similar latitudes in northern continents. New Zealand also tends to have cool nights, even throughout summer.

14 15 AUSTRALIA RUTHERGLEN MCLAREN VALE COONAWARRA Across the ditch from Aotearoa New Zealand is Australia, another producer that is proving itself to be worthy of international acclaim.

Australian wine is unique in that it can boast about being top in both quality and quantity. It is the worlds fifth largest exporter and in fact, in 2000 it exported more wine to the UK than France did. And it leads by example too - in 2004 Australia hosted the worlds first International Forum, and has been seeing a steady increase in producers following organic and biodynamic practices over the years.

Winemaking history in Australia can be traced back to 1788 when vine cuttings were brought over by ‘The First Fleet’ to New South Wales. Wine from these vines ultimately didn’t work out but the settlers were undeterred by the difficulty they were facing and by the 1820’s production had started to increase enough to warrant a domestic wine trade.

Shiraz (Syrah), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Riesling are the notable varieties grown in Australia, many of such being cultivated in the more southern regions of the otherwise hot and dry continent, although every state in Australia has its share of vineyards.

18 19 UNITED STATES Dhall & Nash represents an array of wine producers that span across WASHINGTON the West Coast of the United States of America, including California which produces 89% of America’s wine. Infact, if California was a country in and of itself, it would be the 4th largest producer of wine OREGON in the world. As it stands though, USA as a whole holds this title, behind only Italy, Spain and France. CALIFORNIA Some of the first explorers of the United States actually dubbed it ‘Vinland’ initially due to the sheer number of grapes they found growing, but the official year viticulture and winemaking can be traced back to is 1562, when French Huguenot settlers started growing grapes in Florida. When the first western settlers came to America, in Virginia and the Carolinas, winemaking was an official goal laid out in the founding charters.

The prohibition era in the 1800’s nearly wiped out the winemaking industry in the United States, with few vineyards managing to stay in production at a time when only sacramental wine was lawful. When prohibition was repealed in the 1930’s, the taste for wine had drastically changed and sweet, high-alcohol wines were the preferred style, and as such, production was limited. Over the coming decades though, The University of California as well as some New York universities, studied and published numerous reports on viticulture and winemaking and started to offer education in this field. As a result, by the 1970’s and 1980’s, the worlds eyes were back on America as they started to rise from the ashes.

The West Coast of America has an oceanic climate in the northernmost regions, and a mediterranean climate further south. The coastline is blessed with mild temperatures in the summertime compared to many inland regions.

LOIRE VALLEY Few countries in this world are more synonymous with wine as France. One of the worlds top, and earliest, producers, the French have had many BURGUNDY centuries to perfect the craft. Wine production in France can officially be traced back to the 6th BORDEAUX century BC, though it is widely thought to have started earlier, and in fact some historical grape seeds found on lake shores have been dated at 12,000 years old. Whilst the Celts are thought to be responsible for CAHORS the beginning of viticulture in France, the Romans were largely to thank for the widespread success of wine-growing, as they planted vines throughout Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne, Languedoc, Loire RHÔNE VALLEY Valley and the Rhone. GAILLAC As the centuries passed, wine remained a staple part of both French culture and the economy. Throughout the middle-ages, many monks were tasked with the upkeep of vineyards and winemaking. Of this time, COGNAC one monk in particular made a significant impact on - Dom Pérignon. An exceptional winemaker, he was working in Champagne before bubbles were the norm’. He started producing wines that had a PROVENCE light fizz. At first this was considered a flaw, but with fine tuning, as he said, it was like “tasting the stars.”

The 19th and 20th centuries saw a lot of change come to French winemaking. The French revolution saw many vineyards confiscated and in the following years, quality started to suffer. Another crushing blow came when a crop-destroying louse species called Phylloxera started to decimate vineyards throughout the regions. This was only amended when it was discovered that American rootstock was naturally resistant and grafting was able to salvage vineyards in a number of regions.

Emperor Napoleon III in 1855 requested the development of a classification system to identify the best quality Bordeaux wines - this was done by issuing them ‘growth’ statuses from first through to fifth - a system that is still largely in place today. As well as this, the AOC system or ‘appellation d’origine côntrollee’ was put in place in the 1930’s. This helps to maintain the authenticity of place or terroir where certain foods and wines are concerned in order to prevent fraud and assure of quality.

Today, nothing conjures up a more romantic image in the mind of a wine- lover than to hear the phrase “French wine”. This pioneering old-world king produces 7-8 million bottles a year from a number of unique regions. The vastly varying of France are at the core of its success and the winemakers hold it very dear to their hearts.

After a relatively quiet few centuries following the fall of the Roman empire and the subsequent settlement of barbarian tribes and Muslim communities, the middle-ages rolled on and saw an increase in wine production as the monks started to take on the vineyards and introduce systems to improve production and quality. Many spanish wines were exported to Britain during this time.

Sherry in particular, the well-known fortified wine from the historic Jerez region was popular throughout Europe, but still Spain wasn’t managing to keep up with Italy and France in terms of exports. It wasn’t until the 1800’s when an invasive louse called phylloxera decimated vineyards throughout Europe - mainly in France, that Spain was able to step out from France’s shadow. With the shortage of French grapes and wine, many vignerons started to move to Spain to continue their trade, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise that was able to lift Spain up to realise its stellar potential.

Spain is known to be the motherland to a great number of native varieties. Its soils are home to an estimated 600 varieties of grape today, though 80% of production focuses on only 20 or so. Winemakers in Spain often refer to the winemaking process as “elaborar” (to elaborate) in favour of the more commonly used “fabricar” (to produce) as a way of respecting and acknowledging the importance of the terroir and grapes, as they believe they more nurture the vines than ‘produce’ them.

42 43 PORTUGAL DOURO

Another old-world superstar is Portugal. This country, on the Iberian Peninsula to the west of Spain is another land rich in history and tradition.

Despite a history spanning back to at least 2000 BC and a close proximity to other European powerhouses, it’s suprisingly underrepresented in the international markets, with the exception of their world renowned sweet fortified Port wines.

The Phoenicians, a culture centred around Lebanon that is widely touted to have had one of the more significant impacts on global wine history, set their sights on Portugal in the 10th Century BC, they cultivated the land with grapes and techniques from the Middle East and Carthage, and what was started by the Phoenicians was continued by the Greeks a few centuries later. Evidence in the form of ancient ‘cratera’ (Greek vases) used to dilute wine with water have been found in archaeological digs.

Much like many areas in Europe, the Romans had a significant influence on the wine culture and industry, producing enough to drink locally and export to Rome and England. Again too, barbarians and monks later took ownership of many of the vineyards, though interestingly, in Portugal, many of the local authorities maintained a significant amount of power even over the Church.

Portuguese wine is unique in that it boasts a similar length and complexity of history, but doesn’t command the same price as it’s other old-world counterparts, whilst also offering a remarkably unique array of varieties.

To talk about Portugal though, and not go into detail on Port, would be akin to not addressing the (delicious) elephant in the room. Port, or “vinho do Porto” is a rich style of wine produced in the Douro Valley, which holds the title of the third oldest protected wine region in the world. (Tokaj-Hegyalja and Chianti hold the first two places.) This fortified style of wine grew in popularity when the English discovered it in the late 1600’s. By the 1700’s it was surging in popularity and Port had a growing international reputation, for which many shipping companies were established and named. Not to miss out, some Portuguese natives also set up their own shipping and production of Port to meet demand. The Ferreira family were the first to do so in 1751 and have since been recognised as pioneers for the region.

The Niepoort family were Port shippers of Dutch origin that have been making Port in the Douro Valley since 1842. It is a relatively small Port house but with a big reputation! Despite being the second smallest shippers in the trade, they are second to none in quality. Originally, the company used to buy its grapes from small growers, but since the end of the 80s Niepoort has invested in their own Quintas (vineyards).

FRIULI GRAVE A wine-lovers paradise. Italy. Not a lot more needs to be said. Its reputation precedes it. Battling it out with France for the title of the world’s number one wine producer, this country boasts a history SICILY spanning back thousands of years, a culture combining viticulture, art and gastronomy, and a unique and diverse climate - it’s no wonder sommeliers and newbies alike agree - Italy is a winner. In the book “The VENETO Wine Bible”, author Karen MacNeil states “In Italy, wine is food… wine and bread are as essential to an Italian dinner as a fork and knife (probably EMILIA-ROMAGNA more so).” Wine-making had long been a practice in Italy when the Greeks arrived TUSCANY sometime before 500 BC, likely for millennia. In fact, they dubbed the land ‘Oenotria’, meaning ‘the land of wine’. The subsequent Greek influence is largely credited for the success of -making in BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO its early days, though this was largely in the more southern parts of this wine wonderland. In the north and central areas, the traditions of the Etruscans - who lived in Italy before the rise of Rome - were more prominent. Whilst the Greeks were to thank for introducing many a vine to Italy, the Etruscans were advanced in that it is thought they were using temperature-controlled fermentation long before the 20th Century in which it became popular.

The Greeks and the Etruscans are in a sense, only the embryonic stage of the phenomenon that is Italian wine. With the rise of the Roman empire, so too came the rise of Italian wine. They were enamoured with the fact land in nearly every region of Italy was not just suitable but ideal for viticulture - and so both demand and supply increased as tales of this prosperous land were shared.

Italian wine continued to evolve throughout the centuries, riding the waves of foreign conquests, turbulent political climates, changing tastes and religious infuence. Between all these factors, a significant number of vines were left to develop and as such, a great number of unique varieties were born in the varying appellations and regions.

1963 saw the introduction of the first official Italian system of classification, which was further adapted in 1992 that helps to control and identify wine quality and labelling systems.

This rich tapestry of history peppered with influence from multiple cultures, uniquely evolving to become quintessential Italy, has blessed us with what we have today. Tradition stays close to the hearts of Italian winemakers but modern adaptations to the craft are being embraced - but the core of Italy is as strong as ever - good food and even better wine.

Ranking up there in terms of consumption, but a fairly quiet player when it comes to production, the UK is starting to see a bit of light and attention where winemaking is concerned.

England has always loved wine. Plagued by a wet and cold climate, it was long considered to be a love that was destined to be long distance. The Romans did introduce winemaking to England during their reign, but with less success than many of the other European settlements. It is thought much of the English wine at this time was used for sacramental purposes and imports from other countries were favoured for casual drinking. As time went on, imports from new-world regions increased as well. As of 2014, the UK ranks 6th in the world for overall consumption .

Despite this clear passion, it is not the first place to come to mind when one thinks of wine regions, but this country is starting to turn heads and show people that it is possible to make good wine in what is generally considered to be a dreary climate.

These days, Sussex, Surrey and Kent are starting to emerge as rather impressive wine regions as summers start to get a little warmer. Their soils are rich in limestone, which as we know, is a dream for winemakers wishing to make sparkling wines rich in minerality and complexity. Their wines are turning heads and in some cases, this new player is beating out major players from Champagne in competitions and tastings.

Germany is more often associated with and tasty sausages than wine, but anyone who has tasted a refreshing German Riesling knows that this European old-world player means business when it comes to producing some seriously delicious wine.

As with many European wine regions, the Romans are credited as having one of the first significant impacts on the industry around 70 - 240 AD when they brought viticultural practices with them during their colonisations.

During the middle ages, monasteries took over the viticultural sites throughout Germany and are today credited with planting some of the finest vineyards in the land. It is said that in the 17th and 18th century, German wine was held in as high regard as French wine. Nearly all regions of Germany were cultivated and estimates suggest that nearly four times as much land was planted with vines in 1500 than there is today. This was a high-point for German viticulture, and it thereafter saw a decrease due to improved beer- methods and increased wine imports.

1775 saw a twist of fate that would change German wine for the longhaul. A courier delivering the permission to harvest was delayed for a fortnight. In waiting, noble-rot set into most of the Riesling crops in Johannisberg. Winemakers were surprised when they used the grapes, that the resulting wine was rich, sweet and frankly quite delicious. They termed the wine ‘Spätlese’, or late harvest. This was to be the first step toward the intentional production of botrytised wines and the controlled differentiation of wines with an emphasis on ripeness upon harvest. This evolved into what we now know as the Prädikat system - Germany’s answer to controlled winemaking identification systems.

Following Napolean’s invasions in the 19th century, many of the vineyards held by the Church were sold off to private landowners. Later this century, the dreaded phylloxera epidemic hit and many vineyards were decimated and indigenous varieties lost, but the introduction of resistant rootstock and grafting saved the industry.

Germany’s wine regions are incredibly unique as they are some of the most northern in the world, and are mostly situated around the Mosel and Rhine rivers and their tributaries. These make for steep, picturesque vineyards with great microclimates but are tediously hard work for the viticulturalists. The country is planted with over 100 varieties but two aromatic whites - Riesling and Muller-Thurgau - account for more than 40% of plantings. Internationally, German wines are typically associated with a higher level of sweetness, but domestically the drier styles are favoured and so wines from all over the spectrum are represented here and represented well.

62 Image: Schloss Lieser63 LEBANON BEKAA VALLEY

Another dark horse of wine - Lebanon is seldom at the top of the list when one thinks of prosperous wine regions, but the reason for this is hard to understand, considering this fabled land is at the centre of Phoenecian culture and in many respects outdates viticulture throughout even the most established old-world sites. For thousands of years this ancient country has been toiling away creating some really special wines. And it makes sense really - wine is such a fantastic compliment for Middle-Eastern cuisine!

The Phoenecians - a culture credited as being the original cultivators of the vine in many of the coveted old world sites and having an extraordinary impact on the global wine industry as a whole - were in fact centred around Lebanon. The very term ‘wine’ is said to have derived from their tongue describing the fermentation of grapes. A thriving civilisation between 1550 - 300 BC, they established many trade routes throughout Europe and the Mediterranean which they utilised to spread knowledge and skill when it comes to winemaking.

Speaking of Lebanese wine without going into religion is near impossible. Hosea (780 - 725 BC), an Israelite prophet, said unto his followers that they must return to God so that “they will blossom as the vine, [and] their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon” and said “his fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon” (14:8), so it is clear that viticulture was not only established in the region by this time, but idealised as well. The wedding at which Jesus Christ is said to have turned water to wine in the Christian faith took place in the land of Canaan, which in Modern times would be in southern Lebanon.

Despite a history rich in viticulture and culture, the modern political situation in the country has for some time made it difficult to sustain the industry. Wars and conflict plaguing the region have made it difficult in many areas to thrive. In the last couple of decades however, there are whispers of a ‘renaissance’ for this original player. In the last 20 years, the number of wineries in the Bekaa valley has increased from 5 to 35, and this endurance and determination is a trend that many expect to continue.

Lebanon boasts a very dry climate with around 300 days of sunshine a year. Coupled with chilly nights, the grapes benefit from a long growing season and the perfect conditions to grow thick skins and develop fantastic concentration.

66 Image:Image: Chateau Schloss Marsyas Lieser67 SYRIA MOUNT BARGYLUS

Syria’s wine culture is almost as old as its capital: Damascus was established in the 8th millennium BC and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places of mankind. Furthermore, the oldest preserved wine relic in the world was found not far from it: a grape press, dated to a period around 8,000 BC. The scholar Pliny the Elder (*23 o.24 to 79 A.D.) mentioned Mount Bargylus six millennia later in his work Naturalis historia and described it as a massif mountain running parallel to the Mediterranean coast. This is the oldest fully preserved systematic encyclopedia. And grapes grew densely over its slopes during the Greek-Roman period.

Later on it were the Christian Orthodox monks who systematically cultivated the wine in Syria, which of course was not particularly widespread. And the amount of current wineries in the country is still unknown.

Syria lies at the eastern extremity of the Mediterranean winelands. The highest profile winery in the country is Domaine de Bargylus, which lies in Latakia province on the slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range (Mount Bargylus) to the north of Lebanon.

Domaine de Bargylus is a wine estate on the slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range in Syria. These mountains, known as Mount Bargylus in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, produced notable wines up until the rise of Islam. Islam & alcohol are not natural “bedmates” so Syrian grape growers get more money by growing table (eating) grapes rather than varietals destined for the bottle.

The Saadé family have persevered and now own the only modern commercial winery in Syria even whilst a tragic civil war rages close by. Yet, despite the odds, Domaine de Bargylus has defied them all by reaching the tables of some of the best eateries around the world. Their goal was always to produce premium wines that stood their ground with top Bordeaux and Rhône wines. To help fulfil their vision they brought on board the famed consultant Bordeaux vintner Stéphane Derenoncourt. He still remembers the first time he saw “Arguably the finest wine of the the foothills of Mount Bargylus. “I found it majestic. And Eastern Mediterranean.” I thought, this is where we will make some serious wine,” Derenoncourt told Wine Spectator. - Jancis Robinson

MAULE Officially a ‘new world’ wine producer, Chile is interesting in that its history is long and vast, despite this title and its rather new emergence in the western-world.

The industry can trace its origins back to the Spanish colonisation of South America in the 1500s. Keen vignerons themselves, they brought with them vinifera vines or the ‘common black grape’ in order to make wine where they settled, particularly for sacramental purposes.

For a time, despite a number of plantings from settlers, restrictions were placed on Chilean vineyards by Spain, with the reason being it was expected they should be importing Spanish wine and merely supplementing that with local production, and in the 16th Century, exports from Chile and Peru were banned, which hit what industry they had quite hard. Not the type to give up though, Chile simply shrugged its shoulders and made more wine. They preferred the taste of their own wines to those imported from Spain anyway. (At the time the wines did not fare as well on long, hot voyages.)

Despite a close connection to Spain, Chile’s winemaking practices were inspired largely by the French. Particularly enamoured by the Chateaux in Bordeaux, many Chilean landowners started to bring in French grape varieties, and when the infamous phylloxera plague decimated vineyards throughout many established regions in the late 1800’s, many desperate vignerons turned to Chile - which was spared due to its terrain.

The last century and a half saw many triumphs and defeats for Chile - but it’s fair to say it has won out in the end. Curently, it is the world’s seventh largest producer of wine and fifth largest exporter, and its wine can be found in over 90 countries. This wasn’t made possible though, until after the introduction of a democratic government in 1990. In the three years following this, 10,000 hectares of various varieties were planted and there was serious investment made in terms of new technologies and a focus on growth within the international markets.

Chile’s terroir is part of what makes this country so unique. Full of mountainous terrain and valleys, the country is extremely long and narrow, with the Andes mountains to the east and the Pacific ocean to the west. Many of the areas utilise melting snowcaps from the Andes for irrigation and it is classified technically as having a Mediterranean climate with summer temperatures averaging 15–18 °C with possible highs up to 30 °C.

DE MARTINO ITATA VALLEY / MAIPO / MAULE

The De Martino winery was founded in 1934 by Pietro De Martino, who arrived in Chile in search of a place to satisfy his passion for winemaking. The third and fourth generations of the De Martino family now work in the winery every day.

Today, more than 80 years after it began, the winery maintains its dynamism, family tradition, and the adventurous, pioneering spirit of the De Martino family. “De Martino, one of the most dynamic and enterprising among the experimental and entrepreneurial companies in Chile.” - Jancis Robinson

Argentinian wine is a bit of a contradiction, in that its wine history is ancient and vast, with centuries under its belt and a hefty production, and yet it is only just starting to capture the attention of winelovers internationally. In a few short decades, a glowing reputation has emerged and wine from this South American player is coveted amongst Sommeliers the world over.

Argentina’s wine history is said to have started at the beginning of the 16th Century when the Spanish started to colonise South America. At the time, a variety called Criolla was popular, though it produced less-than-great quality wine, it did so in large quantities and was only the beginning of a long road to the modern Argentinian wine we know today.

Argentina’s neighbour, Chile, played a valuable role in cementing Argentina’s name in the wine history books. As Chilean winemakers started to focus heavily on producing world-class wines in collaboration with North American winemakers, Argentina followed suit, riding the coat-tails and branching out to cater to the growing demand for South American wines that was growing internationally. Now, Argentina is the 5th largest wine producer in the world.

Some would see the dry climate, harsh rocky terrain and quiver with fear. With a lot of places around the Andes mountains rarely exceeding more than 250 mm a year and summer temperatures spiking to over 40°C, it is a harsh climate indeed. But winemakers swear this stresses the vines and therein lies the secret to good wine. A stressed wine focuses its energy on fewer grape clusters, and in doing so, the flavour and concentration is superb.

A big attraction? The price. Or better worded - the value. The pricepoint this wine sits at is simply astonishing when one considers the quality of the wine. For a region that has been perfecting the craft for so long, your dollar goes a really long way where Argentinian wine is concerned.

MASCOTA CUYO

The Mascota vineyards lie at the foot of the Andes Mountains, barely a thousand meters away from the Mendoza River. The vines receive fresh breezes descending from the mountains and blowing along the river, all of which contributes to the generation of wide temperature ranges. The soil is predominantly alluvial, with a clay-loam surface, and rock is found at a depth of 60 cm. And so it is that Finca La Mascota finds itself set in perfect surroundings, and one the most renowned “In the recent Vinalies International and prestigious wine-growing regions in Mendoza. 2018 contest, the Cabernet Sauvignon The vineyards cover 100 hectares of land, 97 of which of La Mascota Vineyards, a select are implanted with grapes.
