Central Otago, in New Zealand’s South Island has the distinction of being the most southerly wine region in the world. Amid ravishing landscapes of snow-capped mountains, glittering rivers and deep ravines, this chilly Lord of the Rings landscape produces wines of great finesse - with an intensity to match their provenance. Enthusiasts travel from afar to sample the lush, bold and fragrant Pinot Noir, as well as fine-boned Chardonnay and delicate Pinot Gris.
