Our wine is a Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon made with grapes from both our Roy’s Hill and Fernhill Vineyards. Hand harvested from low cropping vines, the fruit was crushed and de-stemmed into a stainless steel open-top fermenter. The ferment was hand plunged twice daily then pressed into French oak barrels for maturation. The wine shows dark fruit notes of black plum and blackcurrant with hints of cedar and dried herbs.

Art Lot: David Trubridge Sculpture – The Strands of Life

Weaving has been an essential part of my vocabulary ever since I learnt to weave hats from coconut leaves in the Pacific islands. It is a timeless craft that humans have used for millennia. Recently I was in Cambodia being taught to weave rattan and bamboo by local craftspeople, and this gave me a whole lot more respect for these traditional crafts which are so sorely undervalued. This new artwork for the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction and the Wildflower Sculpture Exhibition explores that vocabulary in new territory using a much more intransigent material, braided stainless steel wire — several kilometres of it. The weaving takes the form of a tree reaching up and branching out like a nikau or punga, suggesting the interwoven patterns of life. In the Māori world weaving is used as a powerful metaphor for the lines of ancestral descent that both entwine and bifurcate, like an inverted tree. davidtrubridge.com

Te Mata Estate Quarter Barrique of Te Mata Estate 2018 Rhone Blend

A rare example of a classic Rhône Valley blend of Syrah and Grenache from Te Mata Estate. Selected from our top Syrah vines, planted in the 1990s on the Bullnose Vineyard in the Bridge Pa Triangle, this 80/20 blend with Grenache makes the most of a superb 2018 vintage in Hawke’s Bay. One of the Estate’s hidden gems, Grenache’s ripe strawberry and earthy nuanced aromas combine with the sumptuous red and dark berry fruit and star-anise of the Syrah to give a particularly full-flavoured, elegant wine. The Te Mata Estate 2018 Rhône Blend wine will drink well early in its life, but also reward cellaring for up to 10 years. Winemakers Peter Cowley and Phil Brodie. temata.co.nz

Bilancia Quarter barrique of Bilancia – Tiratore – 2018 Chardonnay tiratore = shooter (Italian) The fruit for this wine is exclusively from la collina Vineyard where approximately 1.0 hectare of the terraced and incline hill site plus river silt over gravels is planted to Chardonnay. The original plantings (Viognier) were in 2001 but, commencing in 2008, have been top grafted and replanted to Chardonnay. When we originally planted the vineyard almost every hole we dug (by hand) unearthed a spent bullet, quite old and generally in good condition. Prior to the rifle range on the gravels we imagine the shooters fired their bullets into the hill. Tiratore 2018 is the prequel to a single vineyard 2018 Chardonnay of the same name to be released later next year. Winemakers Warren Gibson and Lorraine Leheny. www.bilancia.co.nz

Askerne 6 magnums and a dozen 750ml bottles of Askerne Reserve Gewürztraminer 2018

2018 was a year that saw tiny crops on the estate blocks that we had designated for Reserve Gewürztraminer. The result is a classic, concentrated, opulent wine for lovers of this variety.

These characters flow through onto the concentrated palate which also features ripe yellow plum, orange and coriander seed on the finish. The wine is round, textural and mouth-filling with a long lingering finish. The only previous Reserve Gewürztraminer from Askerne was made in 2008. The wine has been bottled as six magnums to allow it to be enjoyed on multiple occasions or on a single special occasion. These will be the only large format bottles that will be offered of this wine.

From the cool climate ‘Springstone’ vineyard sitting up on the Mangatahi terraces, we bring together a special large format selection celebrating this magnificent vineyard, but also to show the influences different winemaking can have. Single vineyard, single clone 114, but two different winemaking techniques producing two very different wines. The first was fermented on 100% whole bunches, stems and all. For the second the fruit was fully destemmed for fermentation, the more conventional method. Seasoned oak only (no new oak), un-fined and unfiltered, these were filled straight from barrel and only made available for the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction.
