The wine region of Martinborough
Small iconic GI of Wairarapa (southern tip of North Island, New Zealand): signature Pinot Noir as king red — structured and savory with notes of black plum, cherry, blackberry, mushroom, dried thyme, leather and a floral touch, fine tannins and signature mineral tension, "masculine" complex style contrasting with Central Otago. Lively Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay as complement. GI, well-drained gravel terraces and clay-limestone, windy semi-maritime.
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: Filling
Gentle transfer from one barrel to another to oxygenate the wine, eliminate some of the lees and reduce the carbon dioxide (fizz) that was released during the fermentations.
