Hand-crafting wines since 1889.

Richly textured with fresh stonefruit, and citrus notes with toasty oak character to balance.

The palate is luscious and concentrated with stonefruit and mandarin notes and and a lingering lime and mineral finish.

The palate has concentrated white nectarine and peach flavours and is rich and textural with a fresh, lasting finish.

A vibrant fresh nose displaying classic Sauvignon Blanc characters of passionfruit, mango and lemongrass. The palate is packed with fresh fruits which are supported by a zesty, crisp acidity and classic Central Otago minerality. The sweetness of fruit adds to the texture and weight of the wine which leads into a lingering finish of tropical fruits and grapefruit. This is a crisp, elegant and refreshing wine.

Chard Farm's Pinot Gris is made from fruit grown on our Tiger, and Sinclair vineyards in the Parkburn area of Cromwell. All the grapes are hand harvested and fermented in small lots in stainless steel tanks helping to retain fruit purity and finesse. The wine is full, dry, and textural, and displays excellent fruit structure, intensity, and mineral length. Leaps out of the glass with a rich floral bouquet and layers of spicy pear and quince fruit. The ample autumn fruits build into a supple and full palate before easing out to a pleasantly persistent finish.

Chard Farm's Central Otago grown Sauvignon Blanc is made to display classic Sauvignon herbaceousness, a touch of tropical fruit and a textural structure we only see in Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc. It is something a little different. The wine is full and textural in the mouth and has long lasting flavour. Handpicked and whole bunch pressed this is a small batch wine. Wild yeast fermentation, extended lees contact, and a small portion fermented in barrel gives the wine the texture and length we are looking for. An alluring medley of passion fruit, gooseberry, and fresh citrus with subtle herbal undertones. Vibrant and zesty, enticing with sweet tropical notes, balanced with a tangy burst of citrus. The gooseberry and herbal notes add a refreshing complexity and lively finish.

Value for money table wines.

On the nose are aromas of roasted nuts, toasted brioche, subtle creaminess and a hint of smoke. This is a flavourful, multidimensional Chardonnay with a core of ripe stone fruit and fragrant citrus. The palate is supple and soft, with gentle acidity providing freshness and balance.

Aromas of fresh golden peach and vanilla, whipped cream, hazel nut and fine toasty wood scents. Youthful, familiar and inviting. A raw silk texture touches the palate first accentuated by acidity and oak then a wave of fresh fruit arrives for contrast and balance. Weighty, fresh, nutty, fruity and youthful.

A dry, elegant Pinot Gris named in honour of the wife of Church Road Patriarch, Tom McDonald.
