Hawke's Bay

**Hawke's Bay** is a warm coastal region on the east side of New Zealand's North Island and one of the country's oldest and most versatile wine areas. **Wines & grapes** — Best known for Bordeaux-style reds from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, plus Syrah and full-bodied Chardonnay. The gravelly Gimblett Gravels sub-zone is especially prized for reds. **Character** — A relatively sunny, sheltered climate lets red grapes ripen fully, giving structured, savoury wines with good depth, while the Chardonnays combine ripeness with freshness. **Good to know** — Hawke's Bay offers a warmer counterpoint to the cooler, Sauvignon-Blanc-dominated Marlborough region.
