Bilancia La Collina

Bilancia La Collina

The Bilancia La Collina vineyard is a steep, terraced and incline planted hillside vineyard on the North/Northwest facing slopes of Roys Hill, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. The hillside is protected from the cooling effects of the southerly and southwesterly winds and during the growing season is bathed in sunshine.

Bilancia

Warren and Lorraine Gibson began this boutique operation in 1997, releasing the first wine in 1998. Bilancia is the Italian name for the Libra zodiac sign, which is shared by Warren and Lorraine – and it also means ‘balance’ or ‘harmony’, something they strive for in their wines.

Hawke’s Bay Region

Hawke’s Bay is the North Island’s most prolific wine region, located on its central eastern coast, it is known it red wines. The area has a similar maritime climate to Bordeaux, and is co-incidentally the source of New Zealand’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In the past decade Syrah has been showing significant promise there, particularly in the region’sGimblett Gravels district.

“La collina is the greatest Syrah to ever come out of New Zealand, and it single-handedly positions this country, for the first time among the great Shiraz producers of the world.”
