Sileni Estates 2019 Cellar Selection Hawke’s Bay Pinot Noir
Raspberry, cherry and floral notes shape the profile. The palate is fresh and rounded, with subtle spice and a soft, long finish. Fruit comes from cooler Hawke’s Bay vineyard sites on gravel and clay soils. Fermentation takes place in closed-top stainless steel with gentle maceration and pump-overs, and a small proportion of the wine is matured in oak.
Seven Terraces 2024 Oaked Chardonnay
Ripe peach, nectarine and citrus appear with vanilla and subtle spice from oak. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a creamy texture and fresh acidity. Fermentation takes place in a combination of oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks. Chardonnay from Hawke’s Bay accounts for the entire blend. The wine contains thirteen-point-five percent alcohol and carries Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand certification.
Babich 2025 Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay
Ripe rock melon, peach, apricot, citrus, honeydew melon, canned pear and brown spice form a fruit-driven profile. The texture is creamy, with a subtle butterscotch note on the finish. Fruit from Gimblett Gravels and Fernhill is pressed into stainless steel and fermented without oak. Fourteen percent of the wine completes malolactic fermentation. Alcohol is thirteen-point-five percent.
Kumeu River 2025 Village Pinot Noir
Lifted red fruit aromas accompany a cool, round and fruity palate with chalky tannin and a dry, refreshing finish. The Pinot Noir comes from Rays Road in Hawke’s Bay, where wind-blown clay loess lies over limestone. Grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation used indigenous yeasts, total cuvaison lasted two weeks, and maturation took place for seven months in tank.
