Chill Wine operates in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand's North Island, where warm days and cooling maritime influences shape the region's distinctive wine character. The winery produces across three core styles. Its Merlot expresses the region's capacity for structured red wines with depth and balance. A Sauvignon Blanc captures the bright, herbaceous character typical of New Zealand's white wine identity. A Cabernet Franc rosé rounds the portfolio, offering the varietal's characteristic red-fruit profile in a dry, food-friendly format.

Each wine reflects Hawke's Bay's terroir—a region where volcanic soils and diurnal temperature swings encourage complexity across both red and white varieties.
