New Zealand (also commonly referred to by its Māori name of Aotearoa) is one of the wine world’s most exciting regions. Once turned to nearly exclusively for zippy and pungent Sauvignon Blancs, the options and quality have exploded in the past few years.
 
The results are reminiscent of Oregon: you’ll find plenty of Burgundian grapes and inspiration, cool-climate versions of bolder reds like Syrah, and even a burgeoning natural wine scene. Plus, the pricing is on par with our WV favorites.
 
So, step outside your comfort zone and explore these up-and-coming options before the pricing catches up!

Envinate:

Leading Light of Spanish Wine
 
Unlock Your Discount Now
 

The wines of Envínate buzz with energy, capturing the terroir of their respective regions as if by magic. The methods of this group of winemakers, friends Alfonso Torrente, José Ángel Martínez, Laura Ramos, and Roberto Santana, are low-intervention in the winery and ultra-traditional (read: minimalist) in the vineyards. They are one of the forerunners of the “New Spanish” wine movement.
 
It’s worth emphasizing how profoundly this movement has transformed Spain’s image in the world of wine. Before, Rioja was essentially shorthand for Spanish wine and all other regions seemed to follow suit with big, ripe flavors, high alcohol, and so, so much new oak.

Gobelsburg

Schloss Gobelsburg, a Cistercian monastic estate, is one of the oldest wineries in the Austrian Danube area. Its documented history dates back to 1171. It predates the signing of the Magna Carta by almost fifty years. Centuries of experience in the vineyards that surround the Gobelsburg castle have led to intimate knowledge of the soils and microclimates that influence the characteristics of their Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. The meticulous care and concern are reflected in the precision and excellence of the modern wines.
 
In 1996, the Cistercian Monks of the Zwettl Monastery passed the winemaking role on to Michael Moosbrugger. The estate’s history of more 800 years of thoughtful vineyard management heavily influences his craft today.
