Vineyard photo: where in the wine world are we?
OK just a small pic this time.
But I’m using it to set the scene for a forthcoming wine write up from the region. A wine from an unheralded grape variety…(a hint!) Post the correct answer in the comments below and win our respect and admiration!

Winery photo: Craggy Range, New Zealand
Jules, the “twenty-something Wellingtonian” who writes the winewanker blog, guessed in no time flat that the mystery winery is in fact Craggy Range in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.
I really like the photo since it shows such contrasts between the vineyard and the surrounding area. The photographer, Alastair writes that after visiting the winery, he “drove up one of the most frightening roads I had ever been on and took a photo from the Te Mata Peak facing east.” He snapped the above photo too (click to enlarge; see a satellite image here). See more of Alastair’s photos on his site, 18percentgray.com.
