July 2022
Spotlight on Central Otago: People, Grapes, and Terroir
In this webinar—presented by Lucia Volk, PhD, CWE—we will take a close look at New Zealand’s southernmost wine region, which is home to premium cool climate wines. Ever since 2001—when Jancis Robinson suggested that Central Otago might be hiding the Pinot Grail—wine lovers have been paying close attention to the many dynamic producers in six sub-regions across an area twice the size of Marlborough. Not surprisingly, Central Otago is a diverse region, yielding different styles of Pinot Noir as well as many noteworthy still whites and sparkling wines. We welcome back Lucia Volk, PhD and CWE, who will explain the most important features of Central Otago and introduce some of its most prominent winemakers.
