Then again, few[an error occurred while processing this directive] places have a terroir and microclimate like Waiheke. An island 35-minutes from Auckland by ferry, Waiheke is home to vineyards situated on clay soil mixed with volcanic rock, giving grapes a wonderful consistency (and particularly smooth tannins to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot).
