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: Acidic (flavor)
Acidity is present in all wines, and is essential in white wines. It is due to the presence of different organic acids in the wine, and is expressed in the mouth by a sensation of freshness combined with other elements, such as minerality or a note of bitterness. Moderately present, it brings relief and vivacity to the wine.
