Q

Context question: Why might Cabernet Sauvignon hold more advantages for growth in the Hawke’s Bay GI?

A

Climate change - Merlot ripens earlier and has thus been more affected by ill-timed harvest rain. Warmer seasons have moved harvest dates up in a way that is better suited for Cab Sauv’s growth cycle. Cab also just performs better on bony gravel soils.
