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).
