1 Hawke s Bay Wine Auction 2017

2 Welcome Welcome to the 2017 Hawke s Bay Wine Auction This is New Zealand s premier wine event, with many of the most prestigious wines and wineries represented here for your bidding pleasure. Thanks to the profound generosity of the donor wineries and artist, this iconic event is a treasure trove of unique wines, astonishing art, and with many extraordinary experiences also on offer. Every lot is exceptional, providing you the bidders with sensational buying opportunities to purchase these very special wines, many of which are not available anywhere else in the world. The proceeds of this auction are donated to our beloved Cranford Hospice, Hawke s Bay s specialist palliative care service. These wonderful people provide one of life s most important public services looking after us and our families when it is our time to reach the final chapter of our lives, no matter who you are, or what you have achieved in life, Cranford Hospice will provide the most empathetic and caring palliative care possible. As a facility, the current location, at 300 Knight Street Hastings, is nearing the end of its useful life itself, and a new Hospice is required in the near future to meet the needs of patients, families and staff alike. This is a substantial challenge that the Cranford Hospice Trust and the Cranford Hospice Foundation are meeting with determination, enthusiasm and passion. It is our collective goal to build the finest palliative care hub in New Zealand, and quite possibly in the Southern Hemisphere. So an enormous thanks to all the sponsors, large and small, who have dug deep to make this event possible. Along with all the generous wineries and supporting businesses required to make this event happen, I sincerely thank my organising committee and our dynamic Event Manager Annabel Tapley-Smith for their tireless devotion and considerable time. Now it s your turn to make this an amazing wine auction event, so dig deep, raise your paddles, and damn the torpedoes! Tony Bish Chairman, Hawke s Bay Wine Auction Cover: auction artist Ben Pearce. Image shows a detail section of Aspect 1, Corten Steel Message from the Cranford Hospice Patron In recent months The Cranford Foundation has announced the eventual relocation of The Hospice to a new site at Chesterhope and a purpose built facility. This will require significant public funding as does the operating requirements of Cranford. Community support through bidding at the wine auction assists in these goals. We have also handed back the running of the auction to Hawke's Bay Winegrowers, its logical home, so that the obvious synergies between the makers of premium, regionally designated wine and their community, can be further developed via an institution that cares for the palliative needs of Hawke's Bay without any qualifying criteria. John Buck Patron, Cranford Hospice Chair, The Cranford Foundation Welcome from HBWA We welcome you to the 2017 Hawke s Bay Wine Auction event. Thank you to our Principal Sponsor Tim Noel-Usticke of WineWorks for supporting another year of the Hawke s Bay Wine Auction.

The Harcourts Foundation has also recently partnered with Hospice New Zealand. Thank you to all our 2017 sponsors within our HBWA Sponsor Partnership Programme, we have once again had another successful year of B2B within the group of 150 people. Our wonderful winemakers and auction lot providers have certainly turned up the dial and produced some really outstanding auction lots for the 2017 event and for that we are very grateful, thank you. Over the last 3 years we have all managed to position this event as New Zealand s premier wine auction event and it is now Cranford Hospices largest annual private contributor. Without your continued support, this would not be possible. Thank you and we hope you enjoy the 2017 Auction event. Annabel Tapley-Smith, Project Manager, Hawke s Bay Wine Auction

3 Hospice Care Haere Mai and Welcome from Cranford Hospice Hawke s Bay Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Maya Angelou The premiere wine auction event in the Hawke s Bay is in its 26th year. It promises to be one of the best with some amazing lots, the unique sculpture by the Bay s up and coming artist Ben Pearce.

Each year over $2.8 million (or $7,700 per day) needs to be raised so that we can provide specialist palliative care services at no cost to the patient or their family/ whanau. We thank you for being part of this incredible event. Enjoy yourselves and leave today knowing your donation will make a huge difference to those dying and their loved ones in the Hawke s Bay population.

14 06 Mission Estate Winery DUAL LOT OF CABERNET SAUVIGNON AND NATURAL WINE First half: 112 litres of 100% Gimblett Gravels 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. Produced from one ferment that comprised of fruit from our best Cabernet Sauvignon blocks. The wine is unique in that it was from one barrel within the batch. It displays sweet cassis and black berry aromas; flavours of cedar and spice; packed with sweet silky tannins and a gorgeous mouth feel. Unfined and unfiltered. Second half: 112 litres of what is traditionally known as Orange or Natural Wine. Hand harvested Gewurztraminer was carefully crushed to a small fermenter for an 8 day fermentation on skins. It was then run off to a barrel for two and a half years maturation on lees. Intense floral and spice aromas leap from the glass. The palate is weighty and bone dry with incredible length. A fantastic match with spicy Asian dishes. Winemakers: Paul Mooney, James Ostergren, Alex Roper 27

15 07 Paritua Vineyards and Winery 1/2 BARREL 2015 PLATINUM CABERNET FRANC A half barrel special selection of our finest Cabernet Franc. Hand bottled and waxed, 24 x 6 bottle presentation boxes and 12 x Magnums in presentation boxes. Winemaker: Jason Stent 29

16 08 Sacred Hill HALF BARRIQUE 2016 SHOTGUN CHARDONNAY (12 DOZEN BOTTLES) Back in 1994 when we hand harvested the first Chardonnay off what is now known as the Riflemans vineyard, Mark Mason chalked these barrels up as Shotgun Chardonnay. This was a tongue in cheek reference to the amount of time we spent brandishing shotguns to keep the hungry birds off our precious Mendoza Chardonnay. Prior to bottling this wine, this cheeky name was euphemised to Riflemans Chardonnay, in reference to the native bird of the same name, and providing an in-house double entendre. This auction lot is accordingly a nod to the past, and is a unique blend of some of our finest barrels from this world renowned vineyard. This wine is from our 2016 harvest, a spectacular vintage for Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. Hand-picked fruit from old vine Mendoza has been barrel fermented with indigenous yeast in new and one year old French oak barriques. Aged for 12 months on ferment lees, this wine has developed power, depth of flavour and finesse. Cellaring recommended for up to ten years. Winemaker: Tony Bish 31

17 09 Ngatarawa HALF BARRIQUE (112L) 2016 SYRAH A top Hawke s Bay Syrah from the acclaimed 2016 vintage, this is a premium selection which will not be available commercially. It is bottled from the best French oak barrel of Syrah hand harvested from low yielding vines in our Estate Vineyard at Ngatarawa. These vines, planted on the free draining gravels of the Bridge Pa Triangle, have consistently produced highly perfumed and deeply flavoured wines. The 2016 Syrah is intensely varietal in flavour with an alluring texture on the palate. At 150 bottles, it is perfect for special occasions or sharing with friends in a syndicate. Winemaker: Peter Gough 33

18 10 Coopers Creek Vineyard 2016 SWAMP JAZZ HAWKE S BAY CHARDONNAY A half barrel offering of Chardonnay from our acclaimed Middle Road Chardonnay vineyard. The vineyard is situated just to the south of Havelock North and provides fruit for both out Limeworks and Swamp Reserve Chardonnays. This wine has been assembled from material allocated to the 2016 Swamp Reserve. It is hand harvested, whole bunch pressed, wild fermented and 100% MLF. The wine was in oak for 10 months and the lot was bottled on March Vintage 2016 was superb in Hawkes Bay and this wine shows just how wonderful Hawkes Bay Chardonnay is. Winemaker: Simon Nunns 35

Winemaker: Matt Kirby 49

26 18 Vidal Estate ANTHONY JOSEPH 2009 CABERNET SAUVIGNON, GIMBLETT GRAVELS QUARTER BARRIQUE (56L) A tribute to our founder, Anthony Joseph Vidal, who in 1905 saw the potential of Hawkes Bay soils and climate to produce great wine. This small one-off parcel, not commercially available, was produced from the outstanding 2009 vintage. Low yielding vines from our Vidal Vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels have produced this rare 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2009 this parcel stood out head and shoulders above all other batches within our winery. Aged for 20 months in French oak (2/3rds new), this wine will continue to age gracefully for 20+ years from vintage. Winemaker: Hugh Crichton 51

27 19 Elephant Hill ONE QUARTER BARRIQUE (57L) OF 2016 ELEPHANT HILL GIMBLETT GRAVELS RESERVE SYRAH One Quarter Barrique (57L) of 2016 Elephant Hill Gimblett Gravels Reserve Syrah bottling (0.75L / 1.5L / 3.0L) to be decided together with the winner of the lot Winemaker: Steve Skinner 53

28 20 Te Mata Estate EIGHTEEN92 CHARDONNAY QUEEN ONE QUARTER BARRIQUE 2017 CHARDONNAY (56L) Our oldest chardonnay vines, from our oldest vineyard Eighteen92. With over 120 years of Te Mata wine production from this site, including our earliest plantings of Mendoza chardonnay, this lot is a remarkable piece of Hawke s Bay s long and vibrant wine history. Harvested at optimum flavour and barrel-aged, the Eighteen92 Chardonnay Queen shows lemon nougat, ripe nectarine, juicy peach, and white clover honey. Soft, layered, incredibly expressive and an auction wine with an intense level of fruit purity, complexity and finesse this is Te Mata Estate chardonnay royalty. Winemakers: Peter Cowley and Philip Brodie 55

29 21 Trinity Hill QUARTER BARRIQUE (56L) TRINITY HILL NV TOURIGA PORT This wine is undoubtedly the first port-style wine to be made utilising true Port varieties in New Zealand. Touriga Nacional is the greatest Port variety in Portugal. This variety is exceptionally rare in New Zealand. We grow it in the stony, free-draining and warm soils of the Gimblett Gravels. Blackberry and Plum fruit aromas with spice characterize the wine, with a hint of vanillin from oak barrels. This is a result of fully ripened fruit under our temperate conditions, which do not produce jammy characters as can happen in a hotter climate. The texture is rich and smooth, but not cloyingly sweet and with tannins balancing the sweetness. There is great persistence of black fruit flavours on the finish. The wine will age well for more than 10 years or so. Imagine it with a beautiful blue cheese or lovely Parmigiano. Winemaker: Warren Gibson 57

30 22 Ben Pearce Sculpture ASPECT 1, CORTEN STEEL In his new work Pearce explores how stacking of rock like elements produces empathetic responses; we cannot help but seeing the human form in the work. The material qualities of Corten steel offer a permanence in a seminally teetering composition. The form hides an inner strength unseen in the outward image, allowing the piece to stand. The surface of Corten steel produces a rich rust which hardens the surfaces and in-fact protects the underlying steel from corrosion. In this series of works Pearce cites the artists Antony Gormley, Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Serra and Joseph Beys. 59

31 23 Crossroads Wines CROSSROADS 2014 SYRAH & TALISMAN Crossroads signature wine, Talisman, is a secret blend known only to their winemaker, a unique embodiment of the very best wine their Hawke s Bay vineyards have to offer. The secret blend of varieties creates rare complexity and harmony in Talisman wine. This seamless interplay of different varietal flavours brings the palate to life, while supple, focused tannins frame the long finish. This is a wine you can enjoy on release or cellar for up to a decade. 24 bottles Crossroads Milestone Series Syrah bottles Crossroads Winemakers Collection Syrah bottles Crossroads Talisman Syrah bottles Crossroads Talisman

32 24 Te Awa Winery Restaurant PRIVATE DEGUSTATION DINNER FOR 6 An Evening at Te Awa Winery Restaurant.

36 28 Stonecroft 3 DOUBLE MAGNUMS 2016 OLD VINE CHARDONNAY AND 3 DOUBLE MAGNUMS 2015 RESERVE SYRAH Exclusively for the auction this year, we have bottled two of our top wines in Jeroboam bottles (6 litres each). To our knowledge, these are the first Jeroboams Stonecroft has bottled. The wines are our 2016 Old Vine Chardonnay and our 2015 Reserve Syrah was a fantastic vintage for our Reserve Syrah. The Reserve Syrah contains fruit from our oldest Syrah vines (the oldest Syrah vines in New Zealand). As always, yields were very low and grapes were hand harvested, the ferment plunged twice daily and following a post fermentation soak, the wine matured in French oak barriques for 18 months (60% new oak). Similarly, 2016 was an excellent vintage for our Chardonnay. As with previous vintages, the volume of the Old Vine Chardonnay was very small; just two barrels. It s a traditional style of Chardonnay, fermented and matured in barrel for 12 months (50 % new oak) with 100% malolactic fermentation. The fruit is Mendoza clone, from our Mere Road vineyard. Both wines are certified organic. Winemaker: Dermot McCollum 71

37 29 Collaboration Wines COLLABORATION WINES CERESIA MERLOT/CABERNET FRANC, 6 MAGNUMS (1500ML), PLUS LIMITED EDITION PRINT OF THE LABEL ARTWORK For the 26th Hawke s Bay Wine Auction, I am thrilled to present a special offering of my 2013 CERESIA Merlot/ Cabernet Franc blend complemented by a limited edition print of the label artwork. The artworks that adorn my wines are by Angela Tirrell, whom I met during my eight years winemaking in Napa Valley, California, now a trusted confidante and friend. Angela s abstract artwork was the inspiration and foundation to the design of Collaboration Wines. The art of the labels is a reflection of the complexity and depth of the wines. This special blend from the 2013 vintage, Ceresia, is comprised of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Grown on former river beds, these warmer sites allow for real depth and richness to be captured in the wines. Winemaker: Julianne Brogden 73

40 32 Esk Valley Estate GIMBLETT GRAVELS OLD VINE MALBEC 2016 This unique auction lot from the 2016 vintage is 100% Malbec from our oldest Gimblett Gravels Malbec vines.

The ferment was hand plunged and pressed after a period of maceration before malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing in French oak barriques. This unique auction lot of 36 bottles offers the successful bidder a rich and full bodied wine showcasing Malbec s profile of rich colour, spicy black fruits, and long term ageing potential.
