1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,933
Speaker 1: from News Talks, ab.

3
00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:16,133
Speaker 2: Our Masters and Mallier. Cameron Douglas has chosen for his

4
00:00:16,253 --> 00:00:19,173
Speaker 2: wine of the week a chardonnay from the Landing A

5
00:00:19,293 --> 00:00:21,733
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four in the Bay of Islands, of course,

6
00:00:21,773 --> 00:00:23,933
Speaker 2: and Cameron is with us. Now go to Cameron, good.

7
00:00:23,813 --> 00:00:26,373
Speaker 3: Morning, Good morning. What a beautiful day.

8
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:27,973
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. So why did you go with the

9
00:00:28,053 --> 00:00:28,813
Speaker 2: Landing chardon ey?

10
00:00:29,933 --> 00:00:32,693
Speaker 3: Well, I was thinking it's this time of year when

11
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:37,933
Speaker 3: we start thinking about gifts for Christmas, and I'm all

12
00:00:37,973 --> 00:00:42,853
Speaker 3: about the stories that you create through experiences and that's

13
00:00:42,853 --> 00:00:44,973
Speaker 3: as much as a gift as it is something like

14
00:00:45,013 --> 00:00:47,333
Speaker 3: a bottle of wine, or you can do both. And

15
00:00:47,413 --> 00:00:50,333
Speaker 3: I was thinking that if you find yourself up in

16
00:00:50,333 --> 00:00:54,973
Speaker 3: the Bay of Islands this summer time, then one place

17
00:00:55,053 --> 00:00:57,333
Speaker 3: that you must be on your bucket list is a

18
00:00:57,413 --> 00:01:00,533
Speaker 3: visit to the Landing. Not only is it great for

19
00:01:00,613 --> 00:01:04,133
Speaker 3: its viticulture and experience, just getting there alone is a

20
00:01:04,173 --> 00:01:08,493
Speaker 3: wonderful experience, but there's a great story and history behind

21
00:01:08,533 --> 00:01:15,813
Speaker 3: the actual site itself. It's where the first identifiable vineyard

22
00:01:15,813 --> 00:01:18,493
Speaker 3: in New Zealand was planted many many years ago. In

23
00:01:18,533 --> 00:01:21,693
Speaker 3: the eighteen hundreds. But it's also the place where the

24
00:01:21,693 --> 00:01:26,533
Speaker 3: first permanent European settlement in New Zealand began and where

25
00:01:26,613 --> 00:01:30,973
Speaker 3: the first community of European missionaries and indigenous Maori lived together.

26
00:01:31,093 --> 00:01:34,413
Speaker 3: And this is all part of the greater Land Area

27
00:01:34,493 --> 00:01:39,293
Speaker 3: and farming community that was established where the landing wines are.

28
00:01:39,893 --> 00:01:42,053
Speaker 3: So it's got a great story behind it already.

29
00:01:43,373 --> 00:01:46,413
Speaker 2: It's like you say, a beautiful part of the country

30
00:01:46,493 --> 00:01:48,653
Speaker 2: as well. But tell us about the tell us about

31
00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:51,733
Speaker 2: the wine itself. What is the naming Chardonnay twenty twenty

32
00:01:51,733 --> 00:01:52,413
Speaker 2: four Taste Life.

33
00:01:53,093 --> 00:01:55,453
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's well, the first word I always write down

34
00:01:55,493 --> 00:01:57,773
Speaker 3: with the wine that I like to talk about is delicious.

35
00:01:57,853 --> 00:02:00,573
Speaker 3: It's got a deliciousness to it. But it also has

36
00:02:00,653 --> 00:02:03,853
Speaker 3: this what I call an echo of place, and it's

37
00:02:03,893 --> 00:02:07,293
Speaker 3: where people talk about minerality, and for me, it has

38
00:02:07,373 --> 00:02:13,453
Speaker 3: this clay stone, mineral, salty seaside echo through the wine

39
00:02:13,853 --> 00:02:17,413
Speaker 3: and then this rush of chardenay characteristics of fresh apple

40
00:02:17,533 --> 00:02:21,173
Speaker 3: and grapefruit and right yellow stone fruit and then of

41
00:02:21,213 --> 00:02:24,013
Speaker 3: course a lot of chardonnais. Do like to have a

42
00:02:24,093 --> 00:02:27,573
Speaker 3: relationship with oak, in this case free choke, So there's

43
00:02:27,573 --> 00:02:32,013
Speaker 3: a nice little wood spice characteristic in there and what

44
00:02:32,053 --> 00:02:35,573
Speaker 3: I call Lee's ortolysis complexity. So there's a lot of

45
00:02:35,653 --> 00:02:39,053
Speaker 3: texture in this wine as well as core fruit flavors.

46
00:02:39,173 --> 00:02:43,053
Speaker 3: It's young, it's taught, it's lovely on its own all

47
00:02:43,053 --> 00:02:43,893
Speaker 3: with food.

48
00:02:43,813 --> 00:02:45,693
Speaker 2: Oh nice. So what would you match it with?

49
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:51,133
Speaker 3: Well, shardenay can be enjoyed on its own. And if

50
00:02:51,173 --> 00:02:54,933
Speaker 3: I was going to suggest something that ticked the boxes

51
00:02:54,973 --> 00:02:58,933
Speaker 3: of a lot of different dietaries, I'm going with a

52
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:02,453
Speaker 3: homemade fetichini dish. So make your own fettachini or buy

53
00:03:02,493 --> 00:03:05,973
Speaker 3: some ribbons, and then do it in a very very

54
00:03:06,133 --> 00:03:09,133
Speaker 3: light cream sauce, not a big, thick, heavy cream sauce,

55
00:03:09,333 --> 00:03:12,253
Speaker 3: just very very light, and make sure you toss in

56
00:03:12,413 --> 00:03:16,373
Speaker 3: some toasted pine nuts and button mushrooms. Then you add

57
00:03:16,373 --> 00:03:19,493
Speaker 3: the protein that you want. I like roasted salmon or

58
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:22,093
Speaker 3: smoked salmon through my feather cheney, but you could do

59
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:25,813
Speaker 3: turkey for this time of year, or you could leave

60
00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:27,773
Speaker 3: it completely vegetarian.

61
00:03:28,213 --> 00:03:30,573
Speaker 2: Amazing. That sounds so good. Hey, thank you, Cameron. So

62
00:03:30,653 --> 00:03:33,373
Speaker 2: camera's picked for us this week is a twenty twenty
