Fine wines with views to match.
The local meso-climate at Awhitu Wines, Manukau harbour's cliff-top boutique vineyard, produces bouquet and flavours admirably suited to traditional pressing and fermentation by winemaker Steve Cox.
Owners Wendy and Dave Hendl describe their lightly oaked chardonnay as having 'a nose of stone fruit and hints of citrus'. While their Greenock Syrah has an 'aroma of dark berry fruits, leather and peppery spice'.
Weekend cellar sales at 31 Greenock Drive, Graham's Beach.
