The wine region of Matakana
New Zealand sub-region north of Auckland (hills, warmer and more humid climate, clay-loams, red volcanic soils, 28 diverse varieties): Syrah is the signature red (most planted variety), structured and peppery, complemented by Cabernet and Merlot. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are the signature whites with premium fruity notes. Boutique dry-farmed vineyards with reduced vigour and increased concentration, volcanic soils providing richness and a characteristic earthiness.
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: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
