Selaks Winery, Hawke's Bay

Our Hawke's Bay operation is unique in the number of wines and styles we produce here. It's the home of Kim Crawford Rose, and a host of other wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay to a splash of Cabernet and Merlot. The season in Hawke's Bay kicks off just before March, about a month earlier than in Marlborough. If you want to learn about a little of everything having to do with wine styles and varietals, this is the place for you. Cellar work here involves all aspects of winemaking, from barrel work and flotation to a variety of red cap management techniques. Estimated start date for this location is mid-February 2021.
