The wine region of Gisborne

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 on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
