A WINE of  RARE
ARTISTRY

Produced only in outstanding vintages. Simply put, these are our best wines.

Named in honour of our Hawke’s Bay pioneer, Tom McDonald, Church Road TOM wines are creations of rare beauty. Produced only in outstanding vintages under the supervision of Chief Winemaker Chris Scott, these wines represent the pinnacle of our devotion to craft and the culmination of winegrowing and winemaking expertise amassed over the last century.

A SINGULAR
EXPRESSION of 
TERROIR

Church Road 1 is a distillation of the region’s dynamism, with each wine an expression of the land and a celebration of provenance. As unique as the landscape it celebrates, Church Road 1 is crafted to reflect a single vineyard within Hawke’s Bay.

Our BEST FROM THE BAY

Only the finest parcels of fruit are considered for Church Road Grand Reserve wines. Produced from the very best vineyards across Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago, these are wines of utmost distinction — world-class wines with structure, flavour and depth that feel unmistakably like home.

A WINE of   REFINED ELEGANCE

Named in honour of Gwen, the influential wife of Tom McDonald, father of Church Road and pioneering winemaker. Elegant and refined, the Gwen wines exhibit bright, lifted fruit, subtle complexity, and a wonderful freshness on the palate - the perfect match for any occasion.

A CELEBRATION of   TOM MCDONALD’S VISION

The McDonald Series wines are an expression of both their fruit and the vision of their namesake winemaker. These are complex, textural wines with fine tannin structures, accompanied by a long finish.

A REFLECTION of   HAWKE'S BAY

Our Church Road wines are textural and complex, marrying the ripe fruit flavours of Hawke's Bay grapes with the subtle nuances obtained from traditional winemaking techniques. These are fragrant wines, full of character.
