Whakaari White Island - our story

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

The Whakaari White Island eruption was an extraordinary event that resulted in hours of life-saving surgeries within burn units across the country, with support from the National Burn Centre team at Middlemore Hospital.

The response was unrelenting. Surgeries were required overnight for the first three days and daily until the New Year. The workload took its toll on staff, yet as they reflect on those intense months, along with the struggle, they remember remarkable ingenuity, solid planning, networking and enduring goodwill from staff and public alike.

Here's their story.

The Certificate in NZ Wine runs over 4 sessions and is followed by an Advanced programme of another 4 sessions.

This week we have enjoyed tasting and learning about innovative estates such as Burn Cottage from Central Otago, Heron’s Flight who make an exceptional Sangiovese in Matakana. Always a pleasure to taste the wines of Hans and Therese Herzog and we savoured the Mistral, a blend of 60% Viognier, 20% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.

Te Mata’s Cape Crest showcases Hawkes Bay barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc and is interesting to compare with Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois also the owner of Clos Henri. Pegasus Bay’s Finale is New Zealand best example of a Sauternes style with deliciously ripe Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Learning about New Zealand’s wine geography and tasting some special wines along the way is always rewarding.

The wines that were tasted were -
- Hans Herzog Estate, Mistral 2016
- Burn Cottage Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2016
- Te Mata Estate Winery, Caupe Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2017
- Heron's Flight Vineyard - Matakana, Amphora Sangiovese 2016
- Pegasus Bay Winery, Finale 2017
- Henri Bourgeois Sancerre, 2018 (Clos Henri Vineyard)
