Havelock North - Sunset over Hawkes Bay by Mark Sukhija

Havelock North - Sunset over Hawkes Bay

This impressive New Zealand sunset was taken from the excellent Whitehouse Homestay Bed and Breakfast in Havelock North

Havelock North is in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand which is well known as a wine producing area - and one of the major wine exporting regions of New Zealand

Originally famed on the export market for it's excellent Chardonnay, Hawke's Bay produces an excellent variety of wines including Cabernet Merlot and Syrah as well as some excellent Viogner and Sauvignon Blanc - the latter of which is quite different to the more well known Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
