New World Icons

Many of the world’s most famous grape varieties originated in France, but went on to find exciting new homes oceans away from Europe — in some cases producing styles that are, gulp, even better. You’ll learn how these grape varieties rose to international fame as the New World wine scene exploded over the past 60 years.
 

Along the way, we’ll taste wines that showcase unmistakable regional character and innovative winemaking techniques. Expect plenty of rags-to-riches stories, reinvention driven by nature and intuition, and bold flavours that prove what happens when the right grape meets the right place.
 

Styles we love to cover include New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Argentine Malbec, South African Pinotage, Chilean Carménère, and more.
 

Best for: Adventurous drinkers, lovers of bold, fruit-driven wines, and anyone who enjoys a great success story.
