Having a natural love for the wines of Bordeaux made deciding what to plant on the tiny piece of family land on the Ti Point peninsula a breeze. Merlot, malbec and cabernet franc provided the perfect mix. "I love a red wine that has layers of flavour and an inviting texture that I can enjoy anytime of the day" and that's precisely the type of wine winemaker Tracy Haslam set out to create. The vineyard is beautifully situated on the Matakana Coast of the North Island, one hour's drive north of Auckland.
