The wine region of Martinborough
Small iconic GI of Wairarapa (southern tip of North Island, New Zealand): signature Pinot Noir as king red — structured and savory with notes of black plum, cherry, blackberry, mushroom, dried thyme, leather and a floral touch, fine tannins and signature mineral tension, "masculine" complex style contrasting with Central Otago. Lively Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay as complement. GI, well-drained gravel terraces and clay-limestone, windy semi-maritime.
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: Old vines
There are no specific regulations governing the term "vieilles vignes". After 20 to 25 years, the yields stabilize and tend to decrease, the vines are deeply rooted, and the grapes that come from them give richer, more concentrated, more sappy wines, expressing with more nuance the characteristics of their terroir. It is possible to find plots of vines that claim to be a century old.
