There have been significant changes at Cable Bay on Waiheke Island. In October last year, Neill Culley, winemaker and founding shareholder assumed ownership of the Cable Bay business with Loukas Petrou, a construction company director. The company recently announced the purchase of two vineyards totalling 28 ha in the Awatere Valley, consolidating its fruit supply. Cable Bay has wines from Waiheke Island, Marlborough and Central Otago, allowing the company to be marketed as a producer of wines from the length of the company which will be valuable in global terms. Here I review the new release 2013 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and 2012 Central Otago Pinot Noir. www.cablebay.co.nz
