Cross of pinot noir × cinsault created in 1925 by Abraham Perold at Stellenbosch University.

The wine region of Auckland
Wine region of northern New Zealand's North Island, warm maritime climate. Waiheke Island is the jewel (18 km by ferry): signature Bordeaux-style blends Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot with dense, ripe reds (blackcurrant, blackberry, herbs, cedar, tobacco, firm tannins) — among New Zealand's finest. Peppery and perfumed Syrah (violet, white pepper, blackberry), precise and structured Chardonnay (peach, citrus, hazelnut butter). Warm, full style, opposite of vibrant Marlborough.
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).
