Extreme sports and the movie Lord of the Rings are the two things that come to mind when one talks abutNew Zealandtoday. But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning.

   It's a long narrow country,but its vineyards(葡萄园) are mostly around three regions,Gis- borne,Hawkes Bay and Marlborough.

   It was not until the 1980s that New Zealand wines drew the attention of the world with what is now a fashionable classic wine: Cloudy Bay. It was snapped up as it appeared on wine menus in Hong Kong restaurants during the early 1990s. This success was followed by the growing popularity of a wide range of wines from other New Zealand estates(庄园) such as Esk Vally, Villa Maria and Grove Mill. Since then,several other wine growing regions in other countries have tried to copy theNew Zealandstyle without much success.

   The New Zealanders were good at white wines right from their early days,but their red wines, too,were catching the fancy of the drinking public. One example of just how fast and sure that happened is Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island. The little island, which is just a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland, had only 13 wineries ten years ago. Kim and Jeanette Gold-water set it up as the Goldwater holiday home,with wine making as a hobby, in 1982. But de?mand soon made them turn that hobby into a business.

   Encouraged by family and friends,they decided to take their wine production a step further and entered the commercial market. In 1991 ,they took their wines to the International Wine Competition in New York and won a Gold Medal.
