The wine region of Kumeu
Auckland sub-region in northern New Zealand (proximity of Tasman Sea to the west and Pacific to the east, heavy clay-loam soils over sandstone retaining moisture, abundant sunshine and dual oceanic influence, Croatian heritage): Chardonnay is the signature white (82% of production) — taut and elegant with stone fruit and citrus, precise minerality shaped by sandstone, among New Zealand's finest Chardonnays. Distinctive style forged by a unique oceanic microclimate.
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: Carbonic maceration
Fermentation of whole grapes in a carbon dioxide-saturated atmosphere. This type of fermentation produces very aromatic and flattering wines.
