Rippon Review

New Zealand's most beautiful winery - Wanaka's lake and mountains hide a world's top vineyard in New Zealand for the past few years, weekend leisure activities in addition to hiking and riding to see the scenery, is to find a winery to drink a few glasses, drunk in the vineyard, leisurely and taste. New Zealand's wine history is not long, less than 200 years old, but the wineries in the top ten regions of the North and South Island are as numerous as cattle. This is because New Zealand is between 40°-60° south latitude, the middle of the mountains and the sea, most of the climate is suitable for grape cultivation. Today I want to share with you is the Rippon winery in Central Otago, the southernmost production area of New Zealand's South Island. Address: 246 Mt Aspiring Rd, Wanaka 9343, you can drive by car. Opening hours: summer (December to April ) 11:00-17:00, winter (May to November ) 12:00-17:00 Christmas, Good Friday and Easter closed, June not open unless reserved in advance price: Rippon wine tasting voluntarily, no forced charges. Purchase prices range from $20-$105. Rippon is ranked 8th in the latest “World’s Best Vineyards in 2019” list, and has successfully ranked among the world’s top vineyards. The 100-year-old Rippon is a century-old winery run by the Mills family. The Pinot Noir is popular throughout New Zealand. The Rippon, the most photogenic winery in New Zealand, is one of the most photogenic wineries in New Zealand, none of which is located on the high ground, overlooking Lake Wanaka and the spectacular vineyards. I have to say that the scenery here is really beautiful. The sun in Central Otago is scattered in the vineyard, the breeze of Lake Wanaka is blowing, breathing this pure air in the vineyard, the whole person is stretched physically and mentally...Enjoy the beautiful scenery, wine tasting is of course indispensable. We have tasted five wines produced by Rippon, how to say it? No matter how the winery advertises, I think it is not satisfactory. Acacia is considered a general in the dumpling, but it is not thick and old-fashioned compared to other famous wineries in New Zealand; gamay is my first taste, and it feels slightly astringent; The taste of Pinot Noir is sorry for the reputation of the Otago region in China; the sweetness of Riesling is not enough, too sour; the last cup of grape varieties are not familiar, and the taste can only be considered a pass. After the wine, I sent a circle of friends to record the feeling at that time. A friend commented that "run marathon, cross-country race, skiing, fishing, wine tasting, travel, air ticket hotel points miles, I feel that you are all proficient". In fact, I just "understand everything a little bit", life needs to be constantly fun. Maybe the mind can't let your life have more in some aspects Deep understanding, but can try to make life a little wider.
