Nothing Found

From our iconic Prestige Collection, Les Beaux Cailloux is a Peabody family favourite, celebrated for its poise, elegance, and pure expression of the Gimblett Gravels vineyard.

The 2023 vintage has already garnered high acclaim, with @james.suckling awarding it an exceptional 97 points:

“Very mineral and precise, showing aromas of fresh lemon peel, flint, red apples, river stones and grapefruit. The medium-bodied palate has high-tension acidity supported by an underlying power. Delicate and refined with plenty of complexity to unravel with time in bottle. Excellent.”

A chardonnay with power and grace, destined to evolve beautifully in the years ahead.
We look forward to sharing this new release very soon.

Our Pinot Noir offers exceptional purity – a hallmark of our Te Muna Road vineyard in Martinborough.

The 2024 release is intensely perfumed with notes of lavender, jasmine, and rich sweet spice. Bold yet beautifully balanced, it delivers a powerful palate with silky tannins and savoury undertones that make it a perfect match for the beef dish currently on the menu at our award-winning @craggyrangerestaurant at Giants Estate in Hawke’s Bay.

The dish features beef paired with smoked swede grown in our organic kitchen gardens, seeded fondants, balsamic-roasted onion, pickled mustard seeds, and a finishing touch of crispy matchstick potato.

With a dusting of snow on the distant ranges, winter has well and truly arrived at our Gimblett Gravels vineyard in Hawke’s Bay, and pruning is in full swing.

In New Zealand, where many vineyards are still relatively young, it can be hard to picture our vines in 50 years time, but the way we prune them today plays a crucial role in their longevity and the quality of fruit they produce. Guided by the long-term vision of our 1,000 year family trust, every decision we make is with the future in mind.

We have been working with international experts to trial soft pruning, a gentler method that protects the vine’s vascular system by minimising large cuts and preserving sap flow. This technique fosters improved vine health, resilience, and improved long-term productivity of the vines.

We are lucky to have familiar hands leading this work, like local couple Wanna and Phatsikorn, who have been returning each year to care for our Prestige blocks in the Gimblett Gravels. Their attention to detail is second to none, and this follows through to the bottle.
