Hawke's Bay

The Hawke's Bay is New Zealand’s oldest wine region with beginnings dating back to 1851.  It provides a favourable climate and plentiful sunshine for a long growing season, with heat summations between Burgundy and Bordeaux.  It’s the country’s largest red wine producing region, responsible for over 88% of New Zealand’s premium reds.  
Steve has been connected to the region for over 30 years and has discovered the perfect site in the exclusive Gimletts Gravel region for harvesting his full-bodied 2015 Cabernet Merlot.  The Gimletts district is a truly unique pocket of the Hawke's Bay, strictly determined by the gravelly soils laid down by the old Ngaururoro River following floods.  The specific terrain of Gimletts Gravel has made it a highly sought-after parcel by winemakers for its award-winning Bordeaux style varietals.
