Welcome to Te Awanga Estate, we’re a family owned wine business borne out of a
love of making wine and of the place we call home, Hawke’s Bay.

In 2006 we began searching out great vineyard sites that would eventually
supply the grapes to make the great wines of the future. We have an
enduring purpose: to grow, harvest and craft world class wines.

We farm 45 hectares of which 40 are Certified Organic.

And smile while doing it.

Te Awanga Estate Quarter Acre Chardonnay 2020, Haumoana, Hawkes Bay

Reductive aromas hit the nose first, but once you look past this then the power of winemaking kicks in to showcase a core of citrus and mix of orchard fruit flavours. The texture on the palate is equally engaging with lees and spice, citrus and green apple. No mistaking the acidity and palate tension or tautness, there's poise too. A wine that will provoke conversation while showcasing the range of styles available in the Bay.

Excellent platter enjoyed above the vines

We cycled from Napier with our 2 teenage daughters (on e-bikes) and had lunch here. We were seated outside on a sunny winter (July) day above the vines - great location! Had a very reasonably priced tasting of about 5 Te Awanga wines and enjoyed a bottle of the Syrah. The platter we ordered was first class. More than filling for 2, full of meats and cheeses and love. Our waitress was very friendly. Thanks for an enjoyable lunch after a long bike ride! 😀

Te Awanga Estate The Loom Reserve Hawke's Bay Chardonnay

Described as ‘a typical coastal Chardy’, the distinctive 2019 vintage (5*) was hand-picked and fermented and lees-aged for 10 months in French oak barriques (40 per cent new). Bright, light lemon/green, with a fragrant, complex bouquet, it is mouthfilling and savoury, with concentrated, ripe, peachy, citrusy flavours and a lasting finish. Showing excellent personality, it’s well worth cellaring.
