It is known for its consistently high quality range of wines made from grape varieties like Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each small parcel of vines is carefully tended and harvested by hand, then vinified separately, fusing classic Old World techniques with innovative New World ideas.\\n\\nWaiheke Island is a wine-producing region just 18km east of Auckland city. This hilly island is home to a healthy population of hippies and artists, as well as some of Auckland's most famous vineyards. Waiheke Island's specialty is elegant Bordeaux Blend wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but Syrah and Chardonnay are also important grape varieties planted here.\\n\\nSyrah is a dark-skinned red wine grape. Its origins have been popularly debated, but its modern viticultural home is unquestionably the northern Rhône Valley of eastern France. In Australia, Syrah is the flagship variety and has developed such a distinct personality that it is essentially regarded as a distinct variety, is commonly known as Shiraz.\\n\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":[null,4,\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"],\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}[null,61,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":75}[null,115,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":129}[null,166,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":180}[null,225,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":239}[null,276,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":290}[null,327,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":341}[null,391,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":405}[null,442,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":456}[null,495,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":509}[null,570,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":584}[null,627,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":643}[null,658,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":818}[null,833,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1291}[null,1308,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1707}[null,1743,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1845}[null,1863,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":2024}[null,2039,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":2519}[null,2520,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":3248}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBob Campbell MW \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 CamDouglas MS \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17.5\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Cam Douglas MS \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Bob Campbell MW \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Falstaff \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Tom Cannavan \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 CellarTracker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2017 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBob Campbell MW\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Rich, intense and classy syrah with plum, dark berry, five-spice, chocolate-mocha and nutty oak flavours.
