Hawke’s Bay is in the North Island of New Zealand, 300km North of Marlborough and 360km South of Auckland.  Located at 39.4°South, the same as Madrid in the North.

History, consistency, diversity and innovation continue to provide the foundation for Hawke’s Bay’s reputation as a fine wine producing region.

With over 80% of New Zealand’s plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes, Hawke’s Bay has a reputation for superior quality red wines.  The warm maritime climate and varying landscape also produces New Zealand’s richest and most complex Chardonnays.
