Discover the grape variety: Cabernet-Sauvignon

Structured, tannic reds, deeply coloured, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and graphite, underpinned by firm acidity and fine ageing potential. Cornerstone of the great Médoc estates (Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien) and signature of Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo. The world's most planted red variety, a natural cross of Cabernet Franc x Sauvignon Blanc born in Bordeaux.

The wine region of Hawke's Bay

Reference for great New Zealand reds, warm maritime climate (2,200 h of sun). Bordeaux blends on Gimblett Gravels: round, fruity Merlot (plum, ripe cherry), firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar), perfumed Cabernet Franc. Signature northern-Rhône-style Syrah: peppery and floral (violet, blackberry, black olive), fine tannins. Structured, mineral Chardonnay.


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: Amylic

Aroma reminiscent of banana, candy, and sometimes nail polish, particularly present in primeur wines. The amylic taste is reminiscent of the aromas of industrial confectionery and does not reflect a great expression of terroir.
