Discover the grape variety: Malbec

Deep, velvety reds with an intense purple colour, showing aromas of blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa and gentle spice. Round tannins, fleshy palate, peppery length. Star of Cahors AOC (Côt, Auxerrois) in France and the absolute signature of Mendoza, Argentina (Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo). A French South-West variety that became the Argentine emblem after its post-phylloxera decline.

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).

The word of the wine: Bacchus

Roman god of the vine and wine, often evoked to qualify everything that concerns the world of wine, and in particular its consumption. His name gave the adjective "bachique" which suggests the idea of celebration and conviviality.
