Discover the grape variety: Valérien
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, supple palate with moderate acidity, showing understated citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet rustic southern profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE variety collections for its heritage value, it reflects the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of south-eastern France. Rare French white variety, formerly grown in the south-east.

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).
