New Zealand wine is an experience like no other. In every glass of New Zealand Wine is a world of pure discovery. PREMIUM PLAYER The New Zealand wine industry is a quality-driven niche player. Within a relatively short time, our wines have acquired a reputation that is the envy of much larger wine producing countries. International critics rate New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc as the world’s best, and the growing acclaim for New Zealand Chardonnay, Cabernet Merlot blends and Pinot Noir is helping to further secure New Zealand’s position as a producer of premium wines. DIVERSE STYLES New Zealand’s wine growing regions are found between latitudes of 34 – 47° and cover a distance of 1,600 kms from most northern to most southern. Grapes are grown in a wide range of local climatic conditions and soil types, so highly distinctive regional flavours have emerged. TEMPERATE MARITIME CLIMATE As a nation of islands, New Zealand benefits from the temperature modulating effect of the sea. The extremes of heat and cold experienced by landlocked, continental countries simply don’t apply. New Zealand also enjoys long, dry autumns, which allow slow ripening – our grapes develop intensity as well as good acid structure. This balance between fruit and acidity is one of the key differentiators of New Zealand wine, and an important reason for why they work so well with food. 4 Calgary 2011 ENSURING THE FUTURE New Zealand’s small population, distant location and agricultural economy have earned the country a ‘clean, green’ image. Visitors often describe it as ‘an unspoiled paradise’. New Zealand’s winemakers are determined to keep it this way, through the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand programme, which was established in 1995. New Zealand’s status as a producer of world class wines has been accelerated by the skilful implementation of traditional, established methods from the world’s great wine regions. At the same time, our wine industry is able to adopt proven new innovations - such as canopy management, stainless steel fermentation and screwcaps to optimise the quality and distinctiveness of the wines.

THE GOAL: For all New Zealand Wineries and Vineyards to be operating in accordance with an independently audited sustainability programme by vintage 2012. THE METHOD: To ensure achievement of this goal, New Zealand Winegrowers has introduced a number of pioneering initiatives, including: • Industry funding into Carbon Calculator for winery greenhouse gas emissions • Research and development of alternative organic fungicides • Energy benchmarking study and establishments of industry benchmarks • Requires that wines presented at NZW events from vintage 2010 onwards have been produced under an independently audited sustainability programme THE MEASURE: New Zealand Winegrowers has selected a number of esteemed certification systems that are to be recognised by this policy: • • • • Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) Biogro and AsurEquality – Organic Certifications Demeter – Biodynamic Certification ISO 14001 Environmental Certification THE PROGRESS: The industry is well on its way to achieving this goal, currently: • Over 95% of New Zealand vineyard producing area are operating under an independently audited sustainability programme • Over 94% of New Zealand’s wine production capacity is operating under an independently audited sustainability programme 6 Calgary 2011 SUSTAINABLE WINEGROWING NEW ZEALAND (SWNZ)® Developed and managed by New Zealand Winegrowers, SWNZ is a viticultural and winemaking framework and accreditation process based on best practice policies for protecting the environment whilst remaining economically sustainable. SWNZ was established in 1995, at which time it was focused on vineyard management, in 2002 this was extended to winery management policies. In the vineyard, SWNZ covers such aspects as use of fertilizers, control of pests and diseases, water and energy use and biodiversity. In the winery, SWNZ focuses on winery waste management and water and energy efficiency. Today a total of over 190 New Zealand Wineries, approximately (90% of wine production) and 1500 New Zealand vineyards (29, 700Ha+ or 90%+ of producing area) are accredited by SWNZ. Sustainability is about meeting the needs of today, without adversely impacting on the needs of tomorrow NEW ZEALAND WINE FAIR 7 New Zealand GRAPE VARIETIES New Zealand offers a vast portfolio of wines. Over 25 differentgrape varieties are planted in commercial quantity in New Zealand, although the classic varieties of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Riesling account for the lion’s share. Varieties that respond to warmer growing conditions, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, are more popular in the North Island. Varieties which favour cooler conditions such as Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Noir are more widely planted in the cooler South Island regions and in some North Island sites such as Martinborough. SAUVIGNON BLANC New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is acclaimed throughout the world as the definitive benchmark style for the varietal. Its exuberant, pungent flavours have dazzled wine critics everywhere. Sauvignon Blanc can produce lush, fleshy wine with nectarine and peach flavours in Hawke’s Bay or more pungent and zestier wine with gooseberry, passionfruit and capsicum flavours when it is made from Marlborough grown grapes. CHARDONNAY New Zealand Chardonnay is all about quality and diversity. The varied regional conditions combined with a winemaker’s skill and innovation mean that Chardonnay in New Zealand comprises a myriad of ever evolving styles, capable of appealing to a wider range of palates. Gisborne Chardonnay is often soft and beguiling with pineapple and peach flavours, while Chardonnay grown in Canterbury is more likely to be crisper with strong citrus/ grapefruit and white peach characters. AROMATICS With a climate ideal for the production of Aromatic wines, praise is now resounding for the increasing number of vibrant, world-class and regionally distinctive examples of New Zealand Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. SPARKLING WINE A temperate climate, combined with the planting of the classical champagne varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, plus the use of the latest winemaking technology have enabled New Zealand to produce outstanding sparkling wine, now acclaimed throughout the world. Local winemakers have adapted traditional winemaking methods, but they produce wine styles unique to New Zealand with subtle fruit flavours that express the character of an array of vineyard sites. 8 Calgary 2011 PINOT NOIR New Zealand is now acknowledged as one of the few countries to have successfully come to grips with this fickle, but supremely aristocratic grape variety. The temperate climate and long sunshine hours have combined with winemaker passion and skill to produce world class highly sought after Pinot Noir. Martinborough Pinot Noir is typically intense and rich with ripe plum flavours while Central Otago Pinot Noir tends to be finer and more aromatic, with the distinctive flavour of black cherries. CABERNET SAUVIGNON, MERLOT AND SYRAH The aristocratic stable mates, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are star performers, particularly in New Zealand’s warmer northern region. New Zealand Cabernet Sauvignon boasts structure and elegance, whilst a richness and warmth exude from New Zealand Merlot. In partnership, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot can be vibrant or richly mellow, powerful or subtly elegant. Complex, floral and bright spicy flavours with elegant texture also ensure that New Zealand Syrah shines alongside the blends.

The vineyards are located in the Awatere Valley, where coastal influences protect the fruit from sharp morning frosts.

The Kato logo is a representation of three intertwined whale tails and was inspired by the Cook Strait, which separates the North and South Islands of New Zealand and is a migration route for humpback whales. As a wine company dedicated to sustainable principles in the vineyard we are also concerned with the protection of all natural environments, including the ocean and the creatures in it.

Natural Pastures utilizes milk from their Heritage Dairy Farms on Vancouver Island. The Aged Farmhouse cheese is matured for one year and is a derivative of their Boerenkaas, a traditional Dutch Farmers Cheese. It has a slightly crumbly texture with a rich smooth flavor of fresh milk, fruit and salt. Can you detect the small flavor “crunchies”? Baluchon Fromagerie FX Pichet Saint Anne de la Perade, Quebec Available: Blushlane Organic Market FX Pichet is one of the original cheese dairies that makes cheese using Quebec certified organic milk. The cheese is made on site, hence the term “farm cheese”. It is a washed rind, semi-soft raw milk cheese with an aroma that is fresh, creamy with a hint of flowers and hay. It will have small eyes, a moist paste and a slight sheen to its butter-yellow colour. The flavour nicely balances salt and fruitiness with a mellow, savoury finish. The earthy, somewhat gritty, rind is a wonderful complement to the curd. Because it is made from raw milk, it must be held for 60 days prior to its release. Finalist, washed rind category, Canadian Cheese Grand Prix 2011 3 year old Cheddar Balderson Cheese Company Lanark, Ontario Available: most major retail stores In 1881, the local dairy farmers of Lanark County, near Perth, had the good idea to form a dairy collective, pool their excess milk and produce cheddar cheese. The cheese was named after John Balderson, a retired sergeant from the British Army who was among the first homesteaders in the area in the 1860’s. So began the Balderson Corners Cheese Factory and the story of Balderson Premium aged Cheddars. Naturally aged, this 3 year old cheese has a smooth crumbly texture with a sharper, saltier taste and like a fine wine is more complex in taste. Blue Bénédictin Fromagerie de l’Abbaye St-Benoît Quebec Available: Janice Beaton Fine Cheese Nestled in the Eastern Township on the border of the Memphemagog Lake is the only cheese dairy in North America run by Bénédictin monks. The first cheese create by them in 1943 was the Blue Ermite. Blue Bénédictin is a surface and interior ripened cheese that is creamy smooth, has a hint of mushroom, salt and of course a delicate blue taste. NEW ZEALAND WINE FAIR 39 Notes 40 Calgary 2011
