Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, grilled white stonefruits, chared applewood with underlying peach blossom and oystershell. Fresh citrus dominates with crunchy nectarine, crystalized pineapple, sweet baking spice and a saline minerality in support. A fine acid structure is coated with a silky texture to give a long complex finish.

All fruit is estate grown organically, with the majority of the clone being Mendoza. All our Chardonnay is hand harvested and whole-bunch pressed, but they are lightly crushed first, this allows the juice to be extracted at very low pressures. Each parcel of fruit is kept separate and vinified and aged individually. The juice is allowed to oxidise pre-ferment which makes the final wine more vibrant, long-lived and intensely flavoured as finished wine. All parcels take most of the lees from pressing to barrel for wild fermentation and are aged in French oak with 25% being new. To keep the structure of this wine, we allowed only 50% of the barrels to go through spontaneous malolactic fermentation, with no battonage. The total time in barrel is about 10 months before being combined into one blend in mid-February. The wine stays in stainless steel tank for 6 months on lees which allows for the acid to become precisely defined and adds texture – then finished with no fining and only gentle filtration."


Reviews for the 2021 vintage below…


Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Pure, ripe, fresh and varietal bouquet filled with aromas of grapefruit, peach and red apple laced with vanilla, some newish wood scents and a stony mineral core. On the palate a delicious wine with a finely textured palate, core fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet and just the right level of oak influences. Fine chalky tannins, medium+ acid line, tree and stone fruit flavours and crushed stone. Nearing full-bodied, well made with an excellent finish. Best drinking from mid to late 2023 through 2029."

  • The Boneline is a family business who started planting in 1989, continuing to craft wine exclusively from this original vineyard, in their own winery. They were one of the early Waipara vineyard pioneers, recognising the areas potential as a premium wine region.

  • Boneline's location was selected on the basis of meeting rigorous selection criteria: frost-free micro climate, north-facing and north of the Ashley River, with a limestone and gravel base. Grape varieties have been matched to the sites across four unique levels of terraces to maximise grape potential.

  • Boneline's Cellar Door offers seated tastings, a sharing-style snacks menu, a library wine selection (previous vintages), and a wine store. They also host weddings and events.

  • On weekends a Vineyard walkway is open for cellar door guests to walk the property and learn about the various blocks (there are 22 signs along the way).

  • Boneline has Biogro-certified organic vineyards and are members of NZ Winegrower's Sustainable Vineyards/Wineries programme.
