Hawkes Bay is one of New Zealand's largest wine-producing regions, famous worldwide for its remarkable red wines made from a blend of Bordeaux grape varieties, especially Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
On the large North Island of New Zealand, close to the twin cities of Hastings and Napier, Hawkes Bay and its vineyards are located on a plain on the east coast. It is also the warmest and sunniest region of the country. The Gimblett Gravels parcel is renowned for its famous terroir which produces exceptional red wines.
The region is famous for its blend of Bordeaux red grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It offers fine wines, quite fresh, with nuanced and complex flavors. The ripest Cabernet Sauvignon gives blackcurrant flavors and vegetal notes linked to the freshness of the sites. The Merlot gives the wines their dark color and density.
