New World

New World wines, from regions outside traditional Europe, include those from the U.S., Australia, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and New Zealand. Known for bold flavours and vibrant fruit, these wines often highlight grape varietal characteristics and use modern winemaking techniques. In the U.S., Napa Valley and Sonoma shine with Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay from producers like Robert Mondavi. Australia excels with Shiraz, led by Penfolds. Argentina’s Malbec, Chile’s Cabernet Sauvignon, and New Zealand’s Sauvignon Blanc are also celebrated, with top producers like Catena Zapata and Cloudy Bay.
