Hawke’s Bay — on the North Island’s east coast, one of New Zealand’s sunniest regions — is New Zealand’s great Cabernet Sauvignon region. On the Gimblett Gravels — alluvial shingle deposits that accumulate heat by reverberation — Cabernet Sauvignon achieves phenomenal ripeness for this southern latitude.
