Kiwis can’t get enough of Hawke’s Bay Bordeaux

It’s not uncommon in Europe to come across a wine style that is almost entirely and very happily lapped up by the local populace. Because of this, you rarely see these wines beyond their home turf.
Our young wine culture and export focus are against such a thing happening here in quite the same way. But there is one style that is a little similar – lower-priced Hawke’s Bay Bordeaux varietals and blends.
