Known for its excellent Sauvignon Blancs, New Zealand enjoys great conditions for growing this grape.

Stir in the rice so it absorbs all the buttery oil. When it is opaque and rustling as you stir, pour in all the wine.

Keep stirring while the rice absorbs the wine – it should not evaporate into the air, so keep the heat low. Start to taste the odd grain of rice. You want to stop cooking when it still has a tiny crunchy uncooked bit in the centre.
