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: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
