Te Awanga Estate

Hawke's Bay Chardonnay and Syrah with prestige critic recognition.

Te Awanga Estate produces wines from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand's premier wine region on the North Island. The winery's Trademark Chardonnay demonstrates the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy white wines, while its Trademark Syrah captures the dark fruit and spice character that defines quality Syrah in this maritime climate. The Quarter Acre Section—a Bordeaux-inflected blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Merlot—reflects the region's ability to ripen multiple varieties to phenolic maturity. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, and Decanter. Hawke's Bay's warm, dry summers and gravelly soils create conditions suited to both classic French varieties and the bolder expressions of Syrah that have become synonymous with New Zealand's eastern coast.
