Wine region of northern New Zealand's North Island, warm maritime climate. Waiheke Island is the jewel (18 km by ferry): signature Bordeaux-style blends Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot with dense, ripe reds (blackcurrant, blackberry, herbs, cedar, tobacco, firm tannins) — among New Zealand's finest. Peppery and perfumed Syrah (violet, white pepper, blackberry), precise and structured Chardonnay (peach, citrus, hazelnut butter). Warm, full style, opposite of vibrant Marlborough.
