Wakatipu White is a double cream brie cheese from New Zealand made by the Gibbston Valley Cheese Company. Made using Jersey milk, this Brie features a distinct soft white bloomy rind and a deep yellow buttery interior when fully matured.

Its complex yoghurt flavour and the taste of fresh mushrooms pairs well with wines such as Pinot Gris, Unoaked Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot.
