Church Road Winery holds a distinguished place in New Zealand's wine history as the first winery in the country to craft quality wines, playing a pivotal role in pioneering the Hawke’s Bay wine industry. Their extensive vineyards in Hawke’s Bay benefit from decades of experience and traditional techniques, which were further refined through their collaboration with winemakers from Domaines Cordier throughout the 1990s. The 2021 vintage was exceptional, offering wines with great concentration and power, showcasing the excellence of that particular year. These wines not only stand out for their quality but also provide excellent value for money, making them a top choice for both connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Church Road continues to exemplify the craftsmanship and innovation that have defined New Zealand’s wine industry.

Brooding with dark berries, baking spice, white pepper and dried herb.

mouth-filling with red and dark fruits, liquorice and lifted florals, excellent weight, and power throughout and great length. A very rich, concentrated wine with an exuberant depth of fruit, balanced by the dusty, chalky tannins. Best enjoyed with BBQed red meat. Drinking well now through 2028+. The recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
