Elephant Hill

Hawke's Bay wines rated by major international critics.

Elephant Hill produces wines from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand's premier wine region on the North Island. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Element Series Sea Sauvignon Blanc, a wine that captures the region's signature aromatic intensity and mineral precision; Element Series Earth Syrah, which showcases the darker fruit and structural depth Hawke's Bay achieves with this variety; and Salomé Chardonnay, a white that demonstrates the region's capacity for complexity and balance. These wines have been assessed by major international critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. Hawke's Bay's warm, maritime-influenced climate and diverse soils create conditions suited to both cool-climate whites and riper red varieties, and Elephant Hill's selections reflect that terroir-driven approach.
