✨ONE WEEK TO GO!✨
This time next week, all the lucky ticket holders to the SOLD OUT Pre Tasting event, will be getting their noses into all the amazing auction lot wines up for offer at the 29th annual Hawke's Bay Wine Auction.
Will we see you there?
AUCTION LOT 26: Esk Valley has long been synonymous with Merlot, producing their first varietal Merlot in 1989. This rich full bodied Merlot is from the finest Merlot vintage in a decade and is a special blend of the best fruit processed by Esk Valley from their Gimblett Gravels vineyards. The grapes were fermented traditionally in concrete fermenters and the wine aged in French Oak barriques.
This rich and full bodied Gimblett Gravels wine has the potential to age for many years, and is a unique and very special auction lot!

AUCTION LOT 25: The Trinity Hill Wines HOMAGE has its origins in the Northern Rhone Valley of France where Trinity Hill has strong historical links with the Jaboulet winery in Tan l’Hermitage. Clones of both Syrah and Viognier were gifted by Gerard Jaboulet to Trinity Hill and are now used to make Homage.
The 2018 Homage is the 12th release of their flagship red wine since the establishment of Trinity Hill in 2003. They are immensely proud of Homage as it has established itself as one of the great wines of the world.
A total of 31.5 litres is up for auction, presented bottled and labelled in 21x Magnum (1.5lt) format bottles with a total Retail Value over $7,500.00!
If you're out and about over the weekend, why not pop in to the luxury showroom at Bayswater Vehicles, Napier, and check out this year’s feature art piece by Anna Jepson Artist? While you’re there you can also look at their impressive selection of vehicles and maybe take one for a test drive!
AUCTION LOT 24: A “once in a lifetime” vertical tasting selection of eight vintages, showcasing Tironui Estate Malbec dominant Bordeaux style blends, with six bottles of each vintage from their first vintage in 2005 through to 2018. Hand-picked exclusively from Tironui's boutique five acre vineyard, located above Mission Estate, co-fermented and barrelled in French Oak, this is a wonderful opportunity to sample some great wines and choose your own personal favourite!
