Wine lovers, show your support by drinking Hawke's Bay and Gisborne.
With many of our Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne winemakers still trying to put their businesses back together post cyclone, you can offer your financial support by purchasing their fine product at Didas.
We shine the spotlight on a quartet of producers from Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne through the month of April.
Trinity Hill is an iconic New Zealand winery celebrating over many decades of world-class winemaking in the famed Gimblett Gravels district of Hawke’s Bay. True to the roots, Trinity Hill has been crafting especially food-friendly wines made from the classic varieties Hawke’s Bay has become internationally recognised for.
Brookfield's inimitable offerings are mainly down to the efforts of one man, Peter Robertson, and his uncompromising vision. The fact that you can purchase it for about half the price of similar quality wines on the market underscores how much importance Peter places on value as well as quality. His wines are always priced in a wallet-friendly way that allows enthusiasts to constantly review his often groundbreaking forays.
Matawhero has been part of Gisborne’s vinous landscape since 1968 when it was established by the late Bill Irwin to supply grapes to the local winemakers. When, in 2008, Denis decided to sell Matawhero, local winegrowers Richard and Kirsten Searle grabbed the opportunity and purchased the iconic winery.
It took Chris Park to see the potential for viticulture in what is now one of New Zealand’s prime viticultural and winemaking areas. In 1981 he planted the first vines in Gimblett Road, and his first vintage, a prized 1985 Cabernet Sauvignon kicked off the now globally-lauded Gimblett Gravels wine district. His instincts were right on the money. Committed to environmentally sustainable practices, the Pask Winery output is sourced from their own 60-hectares of vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels region.
You’ll find Trinity Hill, Brookfields, Matawhero and Pask wines available by the glass or bottle at Dida’s throughout April. Come on in and show your support.
