Islands with diverse nature

On the narrow stenterrassen away visitors and city of white and red wines together with small dishes of olives, seafood and cheeses. They enjoy the breathtaking views. The House is built of stone and Ivy climbs up towards the ceiling. If we didn't know that we are in New Zealand had a guess rather been Italy. But when we look out to the sea, expanses softer, flatter Plains. The ocean is endless.
We are on the island of Waiheke, a wine paradise, 45 minutes by ferry off New Zealand's largest city Auckland. Here on Waiheke is the grapes in the Center. We try to top ten different wine varieties on the vineyard Mudbrick. We start with the whites: chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. Then we move to the rosé, subtly spicy syrahtoner with strawberries and red berries.
The red wines are heavier. A merlot, pinot gris, and an award-winning syrah with the taste of black currant, licorice and dark plums. Waiheke Island is a Sweden in miniature, with beautiful beaches and holiday feel. Here lives a group of winemakers who have managed to match the island's climate and growing structure with the classic grape varietals. They produce both red and white wines are successful, and prisbelönas regularly at syrahvinerna.
Landscape of New Zealand are incredibly diverse and temperatures as well. To the North are the tropical primeval forest Kauri with up to 50 m tall trees. Here you can see the kiwifågel and in the sea, seals and whales. The South Island is reminiscent of many of the Norwegian landscape. Here are the fjords with vertical rock walls and the magnificent glaciers Franz Josef and Fox Glacier are mystical in djungellik forest. Just next to it are several beautiful beaches, including Gillespie.
Here you can climb in one Icelandic Cape in the morning and take a warm waters in the afternoon. Thanks to the considerable differences in climate and nature offers each and every one of the country's top ten wine regions in very different experiences. You can try a spicy red cabernet merlot from Hawkes Bay, a tropical sauvignon blanc in Marlborough and an experimental chardonnay in the Waitaki.
On the South Island, there is a relatively newly discovered area in Waipara, in the middle of fantastic scenery, a few kilometres north of Christchurch. Further South are sensational great pinot noir wines in the world's southernmost wine-growing district of Central Otago. New Zealand's wine revolution began in the 1980s in the idyllic Marlborough. It is one of the world's youngest wine regions but the area is already for almost 80% of New Zealand's wine production. The climate here is comparable to that of French Champagne and Burgundy. It is sunny and dry, and Marlborough Gets the most hours of sunshine in the whole of New Zealand, 2,400 a year.
The landscape is dazzling beautiful. Green Plains and rolling hills surrounding the neatly planted areas. When you pass through the area by car, it is difficult not to stop after each vägkrok just to watch and take in the countryside. I am constantly reminding myself that we are not in Norway, France and Italy. We are in New Zealand, a wonderfully strange mix of all the above.
