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: Terroir

Strictly speaking, the notion of terroir corresponds to the geological characteristics of a vineyard. However, when we talk about terroir, we take into account the soil, the climate (even the microclimate), the flora, the fauna, and the human factor that characterizes the practices that make up the art of the craft.
