Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Rustic, discreet profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections as a heritage variety of historical interest, its commercial diffusion has almost disappeared; studied for its genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented white variety grown in tiny quantities.

The wine region of Hawke's Bay

Reference for great New Zealand reds, warm maritime climate (2,200 h of sun). Bordeaux blends on Gimblett Gravels: round, fruity Merlot (plum, ripe cherry), firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar), perfumed Cabernet Franc. Signature northern-Rhône-style Syrah: peppery and floral (violet, blackberry, black olive), fine tannins. Structured, mineral Chardonnay.

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: Powdery mildew

Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Less dreadful than mildew, it only attacks the surface of the green parts. Sulphur has long been the best remedy.
