NEW ZEALAND WINES.
SAMPLED: BY A SOUTH AFRICAN ;■ CRITIC. t Mr. A. /W. ' 1 Sedgwick, a; leading South African wino expert, who is visiting Australasia for the purpose of studying and comparing New Zealand and Australian wines with those of other countries,. has not been greatly impressed with the quality of most of the New Zealand wines he has sampled, hue he makes an' exception, in favour of one of the. New Zealand old white wines grown on the Government experimental farm at Wacrenga. This he classified as a good sound light wine, with an excellent boquet. Mr. Sedgwick thinks the New Zealand climate rather rainy for the production of a good wino grape with tho'requisite qualities and tho proper proportion of sugar and fruit acid, but he. points out that ho is judging from his experience of ono season only. •
