Discover the grape variety: Abondance

Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and moderate acidity. Understated aromas of citrus and alpine white flowers. Rustic, productive profile. Preserved for its heritage value in varietal conservatories, it no longer contributes to commercial production. Not to be confused with the Abondant. An ancient native white grape from Savoy, once grown in Savoy and the Isère valley, now nearly extinct.

The wine region of Gimblett Gravels

Unique trademark terroir of Hawke's Bay (~800 ha, 2001 association, ≥95% gravels): Bordeaux varieties and Syrah are the signature red kings (90% of the vineyard) — dominant Merlot (35%), Syrah (20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon, signature intense profile with ripe black fruit (cassis, blackberry), spices and a peppery touch, racy tannins and power. Loose, draining gravels storing daytime heat, the region's warmest terroir, comparable to Bordeaux.


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).
