So what makes the Gimblett Gravels situated in Hawkes bay on New Zealand's North Island so special? The district is strictly determined by the gravelly soils laid down by the old Ngaruroro River and makes up for an area covering some 800 hectors. To define the wines they have been heavily influenced by the French concept of terrior with the unique soil types of the region having a defining influence on the finished wine.
The reds from this region really dominate, with Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon making up a large proportion of grape cultivation. In fact, you could see some similarities with the red wines of Bordeaux here, a region that they will happily admit has had some considerable influence on the wine-making decisions. In contrast, the Sauvignon Blanc produced in Hawkes bay is more herbaceous in style than the in Marlborough, its arguably more famous cousin.
