The wine region of Waiheke Island

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: Lactic (acid)
Acid obtained by malolactic fermentation.
