Poverty Bay House of Nobilo 1996
Poverty Bay House of Nobilo fra årgang 1996 er en hvidvin fremstillet af den newzealandske producent House of Nobilo, som bygger på en 300 år gammel vinfremstillingsarv. Vinen er lavet udelukkende på Chardonnay, der er en af verdens mest kendte grønne druesorter og især berømt fra områder som Bourgogne, Champagne, Californien og Oregon.
Druerne til denne vin er høstet fra de varmeste indlandsmarker i Poverty Bay-området, som er en del af regionen Gisborne. Gisborne ligger på den østlige spids af New Zealands nordø og er en af landets ældste vinregioner med rødder tilbage til 1850'erne. Området dækker cirka 1.200 hektar plantet vinmark på en frugtbar alluvial slette, der er omkranset af bjerge mod vest og Stillehavet mod øst. Klimaet her er varmt og fugtigt med mange solskinstimer og betydelig nedbør, hvilket modereres af tidlige høstsæsoner. Jordbunden varierer fra alluvial silt og ler på sletten til kalk og sandsten i de højereliggende zoner.
Gisborne er kendt som New Zealands Chardonnay-hovedstad, og netop denne drue fungerer som regionens flagskib, hvor den dækker cirka halvdelen af de samlede beplantninger. Under fremstillingen af denne vin er mosten blevet koldgæret helt uden indflydelse fra egetræsfade. Vinen har et alkoholindhold på 12,5 %.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Gisborne
Gisborne lies on the eastern tip of New Zealand's North Island and is one of the country's oldest wine regions, with roots reaching back to the 1850s. The area covers around 1,200 hectares of planted vineyard on a fertile alluvial plain surrounded by mountains to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east.
The climate is warm and humid with many hours of sunshine and significant rainfall, moderated by early harvest seasons. The soils range from alluvial silt and clay on the plain to limestone and sandstone in the higher zones. Chardonnay is the region's flagship grape and covers around half of the plantings, complemented by aromatic varieties such as Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Viognier and Chenin Blanc, plus smaller amounts of Merlot and Pinot Noir. The style of Chardonnay is typically full-bodied and fruit-driven with tropical fruit, peach, citrus, hazelnut and soft oak, while Gewürztraminer shows lychee, rose, ginger and spices. The area is known as New Zealand's Chardonnay capital and home to the country's most aromatic white wines.
