Produced on the famed terra rossa soils, arguably Australia’s greatest, in the warm Wrattonbully region, it gets its name from the remains of a 37-million-year-old whale that were found here. Made from old, low-yielding vines, the quantity of fruit produced here is tiny, but the quality is exceptional. Once picked the grapes were destemmed – no extra tannins were required – gently crushed and cold soaked for two days before being fermented separately. During the 11-day fermentation, the skins were hand-plunged to ensure maximum extraction. Once blended the wine was placed into 225-litre French oak casks, half of which were new, for 17 months.

The property was purchased in 1938 by the Rioux family, breeders of dairy cows, they also cultivated wheat and potatoes until 1972.

Today Hélène, Henry Musso’s youngest daughter runs things, she relies heavily on the knowledge she attained from her father as well as guidance from wine consultant, Cedric Moreau. It so happens that Mr. Moreau is the president of the Bordeaux wine quality control organisation, Qualibordeaux. Therefore, we can be sure that everything is done by the book and beyond. Sharing the Musso family’s love of all things equine, Cedric also owns Chateau du Hâ and favours micro-oxygenation to make wines which are aged in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks.

The deep gravel soils and heavy clay subsoils are capable of producing good drainage in a wet vintage and holding in moisture during a heatwave. Chantelune is quite simply a wine that represents all that is wonderful about the Margaux appellation. Everything from its miniscule size which allows every vine to be tended to and given the attention it deserves to the plantation of the best vines for the soil types means that maturity and quality of the fruit are top of the property’s concerns. Chateau Chantelune is therefore a wine which is full bodied and round on the palate but that offers also the tender side of the appellation. The rounded tannins add a sexy backbone that leaves a wonderfully warm pleasing feeling on the palate that persists until you can’t help yourself but to go back for more.

This terrain absorbs heat during the day and radiates it back at night, creating a warm microclimate that is particularly well-suited to ripening Bordeaux-style red varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah - even in New Zealand’s otherwise cool climate. The low fertility of the soils forces vines to reach deep for nutrients, resulting in smaller, more concentrated berries and wines with great intensity, complexity, and structure. Only a defined area of Hawke’s Bay can label its wines “Gimblett Gravels” - making it one of the world’s most terroir-driven, distinctive sites for premium red wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critic Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2019 Ngakirikiri has received exceptional recognition, including 97 points from Decanter Magazine and praise for its intensity, ageing potential, and elegance.
