Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

The flavours in our Pinot Gris reflect the high-altitude inland position of our vineyard. An explosion of fruit, this wine has fragrant aromas of juicy nectarine and rockmelon highlighted with notes of honey. On the pallet a refreshing mix of ripe stone fruit, spicy pear flavours and citrus notes unfolds. Perfect as an aperitif, with spicy food or great with blue cheese and pear.

Hawke’s Bay Winery of the Year – 2016 New York InternationalWine Competition

A dedicated couple working and living their dream...

NEW ZEALAND winemaker Emma Lowe & Chilean vineyard manager Marcelo Nunez travelled from Chile to the foothills of the Kaweka Ranges to establish their vineyard and winery. The couple selected a site on the banks of the Ngaruroro River in Crownthorpe, a cooler, higher altitude district of the Hawke's Bay.Emma graduated with a degree in winemaking from Adelaide University (Australia) and has since made wines in Australia, Switzerland, South Africa, France, Chile and New Zealand. Marcelo has been extensively involved in both viticulture and winemaking in Chile and New Zealand.They planted their first vines in 2002 and produced their first wine in 2005. The Monowai label was launched in 2007.The Monowai name refers to the single expanse of ocean that separates their homelands. Literally, it means one water, which the couple has adopted as the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and Chile, Marcelo’s homeland.Emma and Marcelo opted to plant five varieties best suited to the microclimate of the site, which are now well established. Their vineyard operations are managed by Marcelo.The varieties are Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Pinot Noir.Emma built her own winery on site using the latest technologies from her experience around the world and, as Monowai’s chief winemaker, she runs the winery with the help of one assistant. They process over 220 million tonnes of grapes annually to produce their own range of Monowai wine.
