New Zealand Rugby Team 2011

The New Zealand national Rugby Team nicked named the all blacks is currently ranked first in the world. Rugby is regarded as the nation’s national sport in New Zealand.

New Zealand Wines

New Zealand wine is largely produced in ten major wine growing regions spanning across the North and South Island. During the 1970 's the region of Montana in Marlborough produced a sensational Sauvignon Blanc which gave a new style of wine.  The cooler climate of Marlborough is ideal for Pinot Noir as well as Sauvignon Blanc.
