✨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.
