The Tony Bish Chardonnay
All Chardonnay’s produced are sourced from vineyards within the Hawke’s Bay region on the East Coast of the North Island, New Zealand. Tony has specifically selected unique vineyards based on soil type, management excellence, clonal selection and unique climatic aspects particular to each site. Tony is very involved in all aspects of viticulture for each site, working with growers to achieve the best expressions of each site to produce premium Chardonnays with regionality, inherent fruit quality and integrity.
Innovation is at the heart of all Tony does. He has built NZ’s first concrete egg fermenters and produces two wine styles made with this unique methodology. Tony also imported the first French Oak Ovum egg fermenter to the Southern Hemisphere.
You can choose between three different Chardonnay:
- Fat & Sassy Chardonnay: cheeky and fun, all curves and lusciousness. Made in a large oak barrel.
- Heartwood Chardonnay: the barrel fermented Hawke's Bay classic. 11 months in new and seasoned barrique barrels. The 2018 vintage was among the „Top 100 Wine Discoveries“ by Robert Parker‘s Wine Advocates.
- Golden Egg Chardonnay: very unique Chardonnay. From the same grapes as Heartwood. The difference is in the winemaking. Fermented in NZ-made concrete eggs.
