The wine region of Waiheke Island
Wine island in Hauraki Gulf 40 min from Auckland (New Zealand): signature Bordeaux Cabernet-Merlot blends as red kings — deep hue with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar and spice, racy tannins and elegant structure rivaling Bordeaux. Rich, spicy Syrah with fresh backbone, refined Chardonnay. Warm dry maritime climate sheltered from cold winds, montmorillonite clay over volcanic basalt, fast drainage, small concentrated berries.
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: Dismantling
After devatting, the pomace is removed from the tank. If this operation is carried out manually, it is important to ventilate the vat well to avoid the risk of accidents due to the presence of carbon dioxide.
