The wine region of Northland
Northernmost region of New Zealand (North Island), warm and humid subtropical climate, early ripening. Syrah is the signature red: medium-bodied and silky with blackberry, plum, pepper, herbs and a violet floral touch, smooth tannins and vibrant fruit. Ample Chardonnay (most planted variety) with a tropical profile (peach, pineapple, vanilla). Floral Pinot Gris, supple Merlot and rustic Chambourcin complement.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
