Vintage 2025 continues, with some fantastic footage captured from our first pick on Saturday morning!
Our viticulture teams are continually evolving and trialing different approaches in vineyard management and processes to get the very best from our vines, letting the unique characteristics from the terroir shine through.
This year, we trialled a ‘no leaf pluck’ approach in one of these Chardonnay blocks, allowing the fruit to develop with reduced sun exposure - resulting in a more restrained style with a crystalline purity, we look forward to seeing how this progresses.

Vintage 2025 is here!
An early start to harvest at our Gimblett Gravels site in Hawke’s Bay, and our fantastic vineyard team began this morning with Chardonnay.
Chief Winemaker Ben Tombs is eagerly anticipating what’s to come - “It’s a really exciting start to vintage - the dry, warm spring has resulted in early flavour ripeness with loads of intensity and fantastic acidity”.
One of the busiest and exciting times of the viticultural year, stay tuned for further updates on Vintage `25 - it`s going to be a good one!

Our Kidnappers Chardonnay is distinctive of the coastal Hawke`s Bay site, which enjoys warm summers moderated by cooling sea breezes, and allows the development of intense citrus flavours with a fresh, mineral complexity.
The 2023 release has aromas of fleshy peaches, crisp pears and fresh lemon, laced with the subtle sweetness of oak. The delicious salty, chalky texture speaks of the coastal terroir, a perfect accompaniment to seafood like this dish - marinated octopus and butter bean salad, soft egg and jersey benne potatoes.
