New Zealand is a world of pure discovery, and nothing distilLs its essence more perfectly than a glass of New Zealand wine. DISCOVER our world. 100% Committed to excellence New Zealand’s wine producing history extends back to the founding of the nation in the 1800s. It was the introduction to Marlborough’s astonishing Sauvignon Blanc in the 1980s that saw New Zealand wine explode onto the international scene, courtesy of world beating performances in international competitions and rapturous critical reviews. accounting for less than 1% of total volume. Though the average price tag for a New Zealand wine is a reflection of its desirability, few would question its ability to deliver excellent value for money. While Marlborough retains its status as one of the world’s foremost wine producing regions, the quality of wines from elsewhere in the country has also garnered international acclaim. This commitment is evident from the vineyard to the winery, along with sustainability leadership, New Zealand continues to pioneer advances such as canopy management, stainless steel fermentation techniques and screwcaps. By world standards New Zealand’s production capacity is tiny, <1% of total world wine production volume 36°-46° 94+% South Grape growing latitudinal range In fact, it’s the unswerving commitment to quality over quantity that has won New Zealand its reputation as a premium producer. /nzwine /newzealandwinegrowers “For a small country with a relatively young wine industry (at least on the international level), New Zealand really has made a name for themselves over recent years. The wines retain an air of mystery that is somewhat unique in this ever-shrinking modern world of ours.” Gregory Dal Piaz, Snooth.com of New Zealand vineyard area operates under independently audited sustainability programmes /NZWinegrowers JOIN THE CONVERSATION WHAT DOES “SUSTAINABLE” MEAN FOR NEW ZEALAND WINE? For us, sustainability means delivering excellent wine to consumers in a way that enables the natural environment, and the businesses and communities involved, to thrive. Under our Sustainability Policy, wine must be made from 100% certified grapes in fully certified winemaking facilities, and certification must be through an independently audited programme. Central to our sustainability policies is a PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY Biodiversity Without the wealth we’re able to harvest from animals, plants and microorganisms, humans couldn’t survive. New Zealand wine producers commitment to keep improving, as new research is undertaken and new technologies are developed. We have an ongoing leadership role in industry research and development projects and, as a result, we’re helping to raise the global bar for sustainability. Seven “pillars” represent our key areas of focus, and we provide guidance and support around each to our members. Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand is integral to the ongoing success of New Zealand wine. Members are committed to protecting the unique places that make our famous wines by reducing the use of chemicals, energy, water and packaging, and reusing and recycling materials and waste. cultivate and nurture diversity in the vineyard. Soil, Water, Air Blessed with an array of distinctive soils, abundant fresh water and famously clear air, our wine producers go to great lengths to take care of these treasures. Even though New Zealand draws most of its ENERGY CHEMICALS BYPRODUCTS electricity from renewable sources, the energy demands of wine production sees the industry employing reduction strategies in all activities. Energy Auckland One large wine operation finds energy efficiencies offer significant savings, so the winery employs heat recovery systems to store waste heat from refrigeration for use in winemaking. Night air cooling, and daytime illumination by natural light are two other successful initiatives. The world expects a certain quality from New Zealand wine; to maintain standards we need to mitigate against disease and pests. Chemical use on the vineyard, however, is the last resort. Reduce, reuse and recycle are the watchwords in New Zealand vineyards and wineries. Many byproducts are routinely diverted from the waste stream and turned to beneficial use. PEOPLE BUSINESS A sustainable wine industry is for the benefit of people, and its success depends on delivery by people. New Zealand wine producers take their community responsibilities seriously. Sustainable practices enable wine producers to add value in a number of meaningful ways, while also making long-term cost savings and are therefore critical to the legacy of our wine industry. Chemicals Gisborne Each year, local ladybird populations boom in response to the numbers of the damaging pest mealy bug. “It takes some fortitude not to jump in and spray,” says one viticulturist, “but we endeavor to use no insecticides.” Planting cover crops to encourage ladybirds and other predators has significantly reduced use of chemical controls. Soil, Water, Air: Soil Central Otago For a winery with vineyards on flash flood-prone slopes, soil health is vital. To sustain their fragile soils they’re increasing organic matter by allowing maximum sward growth before mowing; judiciously applying compostenriched bio-char, and balancing soil nutrient levels to preserve the low fertility that gives essential character to their wines. Biodiversity: Wetlands Marlborough Rich in indigenous biodiversity, wetlands have high conservation value. One winery began restoring 50 hectares of wetland in 2004 and has since planted over 3000 native plants — with the help of staff and local communities. Along with positive ecological outcomes, the project has yielded wide-ranging business benefits. PREMIUM, SUSTAINABLE, DIVERSE As an isolated, cool-climate island nation, New Zealand enjoys an undeniable advantage when it comes to producing distinctive, high quality wines. No place is more than 130km, or 80 miles, inland and the proximity of our vineyards to the ocean has a pronounced effect on the character of our wines. Mild, sunny summers and marked differences between day and night time temperatures in many regions slow the ripening of the grapes and allow them to develop pure, intense varietal flavours. This is the foundation of New Zealand wines’ elegance and power, and helps explain their famed balance, structure and food friendliness. And with growing regions extending 1,600km (1,000 miles) — from latitude 36° in the subtropical north to latitude 46° in the mountainous south (the most southerly vineyards in the world) — regional diversity is dramatic, enabling a striking array of wine varieties and styles to flourish.

The warmer NZ regions typically yield full to medium bodied wines with round, rich flavours, whilst the cooler South Island regions tend to produce medium to light bodied styles with greater acidity, minerality & fresh citrus flavours. As a wine, Chardonnay strongly reflects New Zealand’s unique terroir and the huge diversity within its regions. Syrah Distinguished by its bright, spicy flavours and elegant texture, akin to elegant Northern Rhône style, New Zealand Syrah is crammed full of plum and savoury black pepper flavours and sometimes even a hint of violets. Cabernet Sauvignon/ Merlot blends By augmenting the structure and finesse of Cabernet Sauvignon with the vibrant, ripe fruit of Merlot, winemakers in New Zealand’s warmer northerly regions are creating elegant, yet powerfully intense, red wine blends. These blends are notable for their purity of fruit expression and are known for being rich and well structured, showing characters of plum, blackcurrant and chocolate. AROMATICS 3,611ha* Riesling The South Island’s bright days, cool nights and long, dry autumns create the perfect climate for Riesling. Style ranges from bone dry to lushly sweet. Pinot Gris Grown throughout the country, New Zealand Pinot Gris is more akin to Alsace in style than the drier Pinot Grigio, with notes of apple, pear, honeysuckle, spice and bread. Gewürztraminer New Zealand Gewürztraminer is extremely fragrant, with rose petals, lychee, cinnamon and ginger characters commonly seen. Pinot noir 5,509ha* Native to Burgundy and notoriously fickle (it thrives only in the most optimal of environments), the Pinot Noir grape has found in New Zealand a home away from home. New Zealand Pinot Noir shows fine tannins and elegance with the added excitement of vibrant, intense fruit and secondary herbal, spice and game characters. The huge diversity in climates and soils in New Zealand enables a wide range of styles from the Pinot producing regions. Sauvignon Blanc 20,029ha* In 1973, as Marlborough’s first Sauvignon Blanc vines were being planted, no one could have predicted that their yields would attain superstar status within a couple of decades. The explosive flavours of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc have dazzled wine critics throughout the world, setting the international benchmark for the style. Pungently aromatic, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc assails the senses with green capsicum (bell-pepper) and gooseberry characters through lush passionfruit and tropical fruit overtones. Other notes include freshcut grass, tomato stalks, melons or limes. *SOURCE: New Zealand Winegrowers’ Vineyard Register Report 2014 ARA WINES ASTROLABE WINES X X X X X CLOUDY BAY X ELEPHANT HILL X X X X X X X X X X MATUA WINES X X X X MUD HOUSE WINES X X X X X X X X X X X X X OYSTER BAY NEW ZEALAND X X PERNOD RICARD WINEMAKERS X SAINT CLAIR FAMILY ESTATE X X X X X X X SOHO WINE CO X X TE PA FAMILY VINEYARDS X X X X X WAIMEA ESTATES X X X X WHITEHAVEN WINE COMPANY X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X Product Availability Guide GL General Listing (General Purchase) PC Port of Wine Core PA Port of Wine Allocated PE Port of Wine Exclusive WH Warehouse Assortment PW Private Wine Store SO Special Order CA Contact Agent X X X SCHUBERT WINES VILLA MARIA ESTATE X X X X NAUTILUS ESTATE Waiheke Island X X X X New Zealand X X MARISCO VINEYARDS South Island Central Otago X X X X X X X X MONKEY BAY Marlborough Nelson Martinborough/Wairarapa Hawke’s Bay East Coast X X X X NOBILO Wines Merlot Blend X X AUNTSFIELD ESTATE X Merlot Pinot Noir X X BABICH WINES KIM CRAWFORD WINES Syrah Rosé Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc White Blend Grüner Veltliner Chenin Blanc Riesling Gewürztraminer Pinot Grigio Pinot Gris PARTICIPANTS Viognier Sparkling Varietal & Regional Charts Please note: All prices in this catalogue are in Canadian Dollars X X X X Participating Wineries Ara Wines www.arawines.co.nz Ara is a family owned New Zealand company led by passionate people with a focus for delivering a new Marlborough wine experience.

An intense pleasure, whether refreshingly light or richly complex. Grown throughout the country, New Zealand Pinot Gris is more akin to Alsace in style than the drier Pinot Grigio, with notes of apple, pear, honeysuckle, spice and bread. The warmer North Island climate tends to create ripe, fat, oily styles whilst the cooler South Island produces tighter wines with great structure. Much New Zealand Pinot Gris undergoes a small amount of barrel ageing, with wild yeasts and lees stirring for complexity. Enjoy the contrast in styles of Pinot Gris — refreshingly elegant or richly complex. 30 Kim Crawford Pinot Gris Marlborough 2014 $22.99 The Ned Pinot Gris Marlborough 2014 $22.99 Opawa Pinot Gris Marlborough 2014 $21.99 Whitehaven Pinot Gris Marlborough 2013 $20.99 Villa Maria Private Bin Pinot Gris East Coast 2014 $19.99 Spinyback Pinot Gris Waimea Plains, Nelson 2013 $17.95 Waimea Pinot Gris Waimea Plains, Nelson 2014 $20.95 Regional Varietal Counters Pinot Noir Intense, expressive, fruit-driven.

Native to Burgundy and notoriously fickle (it is world class only in cool-climate regions), the Pinot Noir grape has found in New Zealand a home away from home. Our winemakers tease a tantalising array of distinctive regional and terroir-driven styles from the land. Common to all, however, are Old World structure and elegance overlaying New World power and fruit-driven intensity.

A white, velvety rind surrounds the soft creamy interior paste of this triple cream brie-style cheese. Adding extra cream into the milk creates a luxurious mouth feel with flavour notes of cultured butter, contrasting beautifully with the slightly chewy rind. The aroma has a delicate hint of mushroom. Tipsy Social Club Artisan Foods Toronto, ON glenechofinefoods.com Made in Woodstock by Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese, Tipsy has a deep burgundy-coloured rind, contrasting beautifully with the ivory interior. Aged 4 weeks, the cheese is then soaked in a Cabernet/Merlot blend for a further 2-4 days and then aged another 4 weeks. The mild, wineinfused flavour finishes as well as it starts, lingering long afterwards. The mouth feel of this semi-soft cheese is wonderfully smooth and creamy. Miranda Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser Noyan, QC kaisercheese.com Fritz Kaiser moved to Canada from his native Switzerland and established Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser in 1981. In the Canadian French colony period, the town of Noyan was part of the region of Miranda, hence the cheese’s name. This firm cheese has a rose and copper coloured rind covering the dense, ivory paste. Rich nut and fruit flavours develop during the carefully monitored curing of 5 months, during which the cheese is washed and turned every few days.
