Maison Noire Boutique Wines
Our small vineyard on the Waimarama Road, looking out to sea and surrounded by rolling hills, is also the place we call home. French winemaker Guillaume Thomas along with NZ born wife Esther, have joined together to present you with a range of truly boutique wines from Hawke's Bay.
" Our Philosophy is to create fine hand crafted wines from vineyards that capture the essence of each variety. To make wine allowing the grapes to express their true character, revealing unique flavours and textures, using traditional winemaking techniques and minimal fining. "

Ripe, rich and creamy, with a slight flinty reduction over crunchy apples, subtle lanolin, creamy peaches and wet stone (...) Complex, characterful, and loaded with personality!

Deep purple, lighter ruby-red on the rim. The nose is gently full, with
blackberry, Doris plum, violet, vanilla and spices aromas. Lively, juicy acidity lends a sustained finish.
