Longview Estate
Northland White Diamond
Northland, North Island, New Zealand
WOW! I love coming across new grape varietals and this one really intrigued me! Introducing the Niagara grape - the leading green grape in the US for table grapes and wine. Let's just say it was the last thing I was expecting to come across in Northland, New Zealand on my recent trip under the pseudonym White Diamond.
Basically my tasting note upon first taste was that it's like eating a bowl full of grapes. Memories of newly pressed grape juice came to mind alongside definite candied flavours of grape lollies such as tangy grapes & grape starbursts. It's pastel yellow colour on the eye definitely didn't prepare me for the intense grapey aromas and tastes of the 2015 White Diamond from Longview Estate. It's not a world class wine grape varietal but it definitely will leave a lasting memory on your palate.
