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: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
