Similar clarity pervades its strong suit, whites. Adjectives like pungent, lithe, clean and refreshing apply especially to the signature sauvignon blancs; to broadly findable chardonnays, rieslings and pinot gris; and to rarer gewürztraminers and sémillons.
Among reds, pinot noir, notably from idyllic Central Otago, has won the most attention; by 2009, the industry expects pinot noir, which is partly sluiced into sparkling wine, to be the second most widely planted grape (behind sauvignon); merlot may become the fourth (after chardonnay, the third). Syrah is a comer.
