More than 150 New Zealand producers will be showing some 650 wines at the annual trade tasting, now in its 27th year. This year the London tasting will be limited to one day and there will be themed "walk-through" tables of Chardonnay, Syrah, red blends and Sauvignon Blanc - the last showing the different regional styles signature grape variet ies can produce. New Zealand Winegrowers has teamed up with Malaysian restaurant Suka to offer food matches for the themed tables.
Stratford's Wine Agencies is launching the Distant Land range from Lincoln Vineyards. The AGBP7.99-AGBP12.99 range sources grapes from Gisborne, Hawkes Bay and Marlborough, and includes a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Marlborough Pinot Noir 2006 and Gisborne GewArztraminer 2007. The agency is also showing wines from Cable Bay Vineyards in Waiheke Island. The AGBP8.99-AGBP14.99 Cable Bay range includes Waiheke Island Chardonnay 2006, showing for the first time in the UK, and the AGBP7.99 Culley range will show its Chardonnay 2007 and Pinot Noir 2007 for the first time here.
