Discover the grape variety: Millot Léon
Colourful and fruity reds with a deep purple hue, smooth tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, featuring aromas of dark fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), herbal notes and a slight labrusca character. Early-ripening and extremely cold-hardy. Grown in Canada (Québec, Ontario) and the north-eastern USA for harsh continental climates. Synonym for Léon Millot, a French black hybrid obtained in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace.

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: Rich
Said of a complex and concentrated wine, whose power suggests a good capacity for ageing.
