Tablelands
Tablelands produces wines from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand's North Island. The winery's portfolio centers on Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir—varieties that thrive in the region's maritime climate and volcanic soils. The Southdown Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, rated 89.5 by prestige critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter, represents the winery's expression of the varietal's signature aromatics and structure. A Pinot Noir (88.3) and a broader Sauvignon Blanc release (87.7) round out the core range, both assessed by the same panel of critics. Hawke's Bay's warm days and cool nights create conditions suited to both the herbaceous precision of Sauvignon Blanc and the silky complexity Pinot Noir demands. Tablelands' wines reflect the terroir of this established New Zealand region.
