The Society's Exhibition Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2024
White Wine from New Zealand - Hawkes Bay
Crafted exclusively for The Wine Society by the historic Mission Estate in Hawke’s Bay, this chardonnay captures the rich, sun-soaked character of New Zealand’s North Island in a fuller-bodied, oak-influenced style that fans of classic, generous chardonnay will love. The nose is bold and expressive, with aromas of ripe stone fruit, toasted brioche and vanilla, layered with hints of grilled pineapple and cashew. On the palate, it’s creamy and rounded, with peach and nectarine flavours wrapped in well-judged oak, bringing notes of spice and roasted nuts. Despite its richness, there’s a fine seam of acidity that keeps everything in balance and draws out a long, mouthfilling finish. This is a wine that wears its Hawke’s Bay origins proudly, offering sunshine-filled fruit and a satisfying sense of weight and texture. A classic take on New World chardonnay that delivers exceptional value and broad appeal.

Mission Estate
Beginning life as a Catholic mission in 1838 Mission Estate is the oldest winery in New Zealand and they have been growing grapes on the site since the missionaries first began tending vines at Meeanee in 1851 and their current site in the Taradale Hills above Napier in 1909.
Today the winery is housed in the restored seminary buildings overlooking the vines and there are three vineyards (Greenmeadows, Mere Road and Gimblett Road) making up the holdings totalling 35 hectares or so. Chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, semillon, viognier, merlot, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot are all grown.
