✨SILENT AUCTION LOT 2 - COLLABORATION WINES
A rare release: 6 magnums of the 2024 Aurulent Chardonnay from Collaboration Wines.
🍇 Magnums are seldom released, making this a special opportunity for discerning collectors and loyal supporters. The 2024 vintage was marked by extremely low yields, resulting in exceptional concentration and intensity of flavour. Aurulent captures the elegance and vibrancy of Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay in its purest form.
Crafted in limited quantities by Proprietor | Winemaker Julianne Brogden, this finely detailed, small-batch wine reflects a true sense of place and poised expression.
Sourced from the Kōkako Vineyard in Ohiti Valley and the Ascot Vineyard in the Havelock Hills, the wine is layered with stone fruit, citrus, fine oak, and mineral nuance — elegant and expressive, with the depth to evolve beautifully over time.
👇🏼 Link to bid below. Bidding available via Galabid until 4.45pm Saturday 13th. September.

We’re thrilled to welcome Chris Kennedy back to the stage in a couple of weeks for his 7th year as our auctioneer! A total icon of the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction – Chris is basically part of the furniture now (the charming, sharply-dressed, gavel-wielding kind).
Thanks to our brilliant Auction Partners, Harcourts Hawke's Bay, for sharing this absolute gem of a human with us each year. Chris brings the energy, the wit, and the heart – always going above and beyond to support Cranford Hospice.
He’s not just an auctioneer – he’s a fundraising force of nature. 🍷💥
