Our seventh release from the Two Terraces Vineyard and easily our most generous yet.

The 2024 season threw everything at us—late budburst, cool winds, and a miserly fruit set. Yields were painfully low, but what remained was pure gold: small berries packed with intensity, ripened under a warm, dry Hawke’s Bay summer.

Chenin is a late-season variety, so it wears the season on its sleeve—and this year, it swaggered. Bold, ripe citrus and stone fruit leapt from the press. We embraced its energy, fermenting and maturing the wine in our cast-stone egg tank, with full malolactic and extended lees contact. The result? A rich, full-bodied expression with power, texture, and a saline edge.

Pale straw with green flashes. The nose bursts with ripe apple, guava, a dusting of spice, and a whisper of almond icing. The palate is textured and concentrated, its length pulled taut by Chenin’s hallmark acidity.
