The wine region of Gisborne
Wine region of the eastern North Island of New Zealand, nicknamed the country's 'Chardonnay capital'. Chardonnay signature in white: ample and tropical with signature notes of peach, passion fruit, pineapple, soft vanilla, honey and a mineral touch, round and long palate — generous and sunny. Also floral Pinot Gris, aromatic Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose), opulent Viognier, taut Chenin, round Merlot. Sunny climate tempered by the Pacific.
The wine region of North Island
New Zealand's North Island, warmer and more varied than the South Island. Bordeaux varieties and Pinot Noir as signatures. Merlot in Hawke's Bay as a supple red with notes of plum, ripe cherry, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, round tannins — blended with Cabernet and peppery Syrah. Fine Pinot Noir in Wairarapa/Martinborough (cherry, undergrowth).
The word of the wine: Aging
Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
