New Zealand

New Zealand

New Zealand's wine industry may only be 23 percent of the size of Australia’s but it makes up for this in quality. Its viticultural heritage dates back to Englishman James Busby making wine on North Island circa 1840, yet it wasn't until 1973 that domestic producers planted Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough's Wairau Valley; in the 1980s, this success was replicated with Pinot Noir in Central Otago – both are home to world-class examples.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
