Gwen Chardonnay
Predominantly coastal Chardonnay from Te Awanga and Tuki Tuki, where cool sea breezes preserve freshness and fragrance. Gravel and clay soils with a touch of limestone lend subtle minerality, while warmer inland fruit from our Redstone Vineyard adds richness and balance to the mid-palate.
Lofty notes of brambles and dark red fruits dominate, with subtle background spice and fresh pencil shavings. The palate is loaded with dense ripe red fruits and has a silky-smooth texture. Tannins are firm but integrated with a supple mouthfeel leading to a classic Pinot Noir finish that is long, savoury and mouth filling.
Made in tank & barrels, showing succulent pear, melon, citrus, and hints of honey. Lightly off-dry, can pair with spicy cuisine.
Grown at our Matapiro Vineyard in the cooler Crownthorpe Terraces of Hawke’s Bay — our most elevated and inland site. The pronounced contrast between warm days and cool nights produces wines with bold aromatics, vibrant fruit, and crisp natural acidity.
An optimal ripening year. Hand-picked, fermented with wild yeasts, aged in French Oak 12 months. Unfiltered, unfined, unforgettable. Flavors of cherry, raspberry, and earthy herbs. Palate shows roasted notes and minerality, balancing elegance with brooding complexity.
Grown on our Matapiro Vineyard in the elevated Crownthorpe Terraces (200 m above sea level), this inland site experiences warm days and cool nights — ideal conditions for developing vibrant aromatics and bright natural acidity.

Elegantly aromatic and made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Showing raspberries, strawberries, watermelon, and finishing with a hint of vanilla. Perfect for summer drinking.
Grown in our Redstone Vineyard in Hawke’s Bay’s warm Bridge Pa Triangle, where iron-rich red metal soils produce ripe, supple, and aromatic wines with depth and texture.
