 Tâ-hu-nâ (n.) – the New Zealand Maori word for riverbank.
The Tahuna vineyards produce super premium New Zealand wines, with ripe flavour-filled grapes sourced from carefully selected alluvial gravel vineyard sites on New Zealand’s East Coast. Warm, sheltered sites are selected for Merlot and Cabernet Franc, while cooler sites provide ideal flavour development in Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Reflecting this care and attention in the vineyard, Tahuna wines are hand-crafted by a team of experienced Winemakers to produce wines of exceptional quality, with rich, fresh flavours.
Region – Hawkes Bay
Soil type – A thin layer of alluvial silt over gravels
Varieties – Merlot
Tasting Notes – The Tahuna Rose has bright ruby colour with aromas of raspberry and brambles, a fresh, mouthfilling palate and a soft, satisfying finish. A great food wine at any time of year. Drink it young and lightly chilled.
Winemaking Notes – The Tahuna Cabernet Franc Rosé was crushed and held at cold temperatures. The fruit was then pressed after two to three days to obtain the optimum colour, tannin and flavour profiles. The juice was cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is an aromatic fruit driven style, with light tannins and low acidity from very ripe grapes.
