This is the Chardonnay buy you keep asking us for but is so hard to find. It is simply delicious! Be in and thank us for finding it for you later.

Chardonnay is by far and away our most popular white variety, and we are always searching for one that ticks all the taste boxes we know you love. Of course, it has to be at a great price also…

Gavin Yortt, owner of Squawking Magpie in Hawkes Bay, gave us a call a couple of months ago explaining that he had stocks of a special batch of Chardonnay from the 2021 vintage that he'd been left with from a cancelled export… were we interested in a deal? We asked for a sample bottle, were extremely happy with the wine, negotiated a sharp deal, added a snappy label, and here we have it.

Outstanding Vintage. Outstanding Blocks. Outstanding Wine.
The wine is from a couple of special blocks of Squawking Magpie vineyards and the excellent 2021 vintage. The low yielding fruit was in pristine condition and the free run juice fermented and aged in a mixture of new and older French oak. Most went through full malo-lactic.

The result is a wine that highlights the classic Hawkes Bay flavours: golden peach, almost tropical fruit, cashew nut, and subtle spicy oak flavours. Creamy with hints of butterscotch.

Our taste summary… bloody delicious!

Squawking Magpie wines originate from the renowned Gimblett Gravels region in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The region is renowned for its exceptional terroir, characterised by gravelly soils and a warm, maritime climate.

With every bottle, Squawking Magpie captures the essence of the region and showcases the unique characteristics of the grape varieties grown there. The winery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship is evident in every drop.

Squawking Magpie wines offer a diverse portfolio, featuring both red and white varietals. The red wines, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, display intense flavours, rich textures, and elegant structures. They exhibit notes of dark fruits, spice, and subtle oak nuances.

The white wines, including Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, reflect the region's cool-climate influences. These wines are vibrant, aromatic, and exhibit refreshing acidity. Expect tropical fruit flavours, citrus zest, and mineral undertones.

With their expressive character and impeccable balance, Squawking Magpie wines have garnered critical acclaim along with numerous awards, and are sought after by wine enthusiasts worldwide. They embody the spirit of Gimblett Gravels, showcasing the region's ability to produce exceptional wines that exhibit elegance and finesse and truly stand out.

Squawking Magpie takes great pride in having Jenny Dobson, also known as The Red Queen, as the mastermind behind their wine. Not only is she one of New Zealand's finest winemakers, but she has also achieved the remarkable distinction of being the very first female winemaker in Bordeaux, France. Jenny's career has been marked by a trailblazing spirit, paving the way for countless other women in the winemaking industry worldwide.
