    This is PART TWO of L.M. Archer's exploration of Central Otago. Before continuing, read part one. Individuation: Fruit vs. Site Forsyth sees a decided march towards individuation throughout Central Otago’s vineyards. “So now, thirty years later, we’re at the stage where we can see better producers concentrating on individual vineyards,

    Challenged by climate change, lack of available land and rising production costs, some of Burgundy’s top producers have established wineries in Oregon. But the more adventuresome are now flying much further afield -- to New Zealand’s Central Otago. Located on the 45 parallel in the Southern Hemisphere, Central Otago is

    2016 Crios Torrontes Luscious peachy, apricot and tropical fruit aroma, but the wine is dry with a touch of peach on the end-palate. Acidity and minerality intertwined with a whisper of rose. A lively citric finish completes this wine. Pairs with a wide variety of light, salty and piquant foods.

    A classic Provencal pale salmon-pink, this wine has a slight jasmine aroma at first, with a nice chalky minerality on the nose and on the palate. A streak of spiciness weaves its way throughout the tasting experience, along with moderate acidity. On the end-palate dark red fruit gives way to

    Having followed chef Joachim Splichal since his spectacular Los Angeles restaurants, I was curious about his new family winery project – enhanced with top wine consultants. And the wines do deliver. The best food pairings are true to this area, something Splichal would know from his early stints in Provence.
