Hawkes Bay, located round Napier on the east coast of the North Island, is New Zealand's second largest region by plantings, with 4,500 has or 20% of the country's total in 2006, led by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (34%), Chardonnay (23%), Sauvignon Blanc (16.5%) and Pinot Noir (9%).
It boasts a diverse spread of soils, from fertile alluvial to stony dry, resulting in an array of variously sized wineries from the small to the not-so-small; the region accounts for 12.5% of the country's 530 wineries, suggesting a happy balance between the two.
Hawkes Bay continues to fine-tune its Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Franc Bordeaux-blends, offering some fine, fresh, pencil-shaving nuanced examples, particularly from the Te Mata Estate (`Coleraine'). The more recent success story seems to be that of Syrah, in a cool black pepper Northern.Rhône style.

2009 Coleraine from the wonderful Te Mata estate is rather restrained and slightly closed on the nose, but shows deep, rich notes of tar, damsons and just a touch of bramble, a little hint of oak but overall neat and well appointed. This order and structure is replicated on the palate where the ... MORE |
