The Wine
Move over Marlborough, the next most fashionable spot for Sauvignon could well be Hawke’s Bay if this scintillating white is anything to go by. Hawke’s Bay is New Zealand’s oldest winemaking region – vines were first planted here in 1851 by Marist priests from Lyon. Its speciality is small production, quality wines, often family run – and yours is a textbook example. Roroa shares the same irresistible ocean freshness as Sauvignon from Marlborough, but being from the warmest spot in New Zealand you have a riper and softer style – made all the more concentrated thanks to the perfect 2014 vintage. It makes this a delicious drop to enjoy on its own or with exotic foods. Yes, think spicy Thai cuisine and bright crunchy vegetable dishes.
