The Artisanal Collection is a new range of fine wines with winemaker Gordon Russell’s artistry and vision on full display, yielding soulful wines that express Esk Valley’s character and Hawkes Bay home.

In the Collection, classic Hawkes Bay wine styles are given the Esk Valley and Gordon Russell treatment. A barrel-fermented Chardonnay, unique Malbec dominant blended red wine and a cluster fermented Syrah form the backbone of the collection.

This is a reimagination of the classic wine of Spain. Aged like a Rioja, it is a deep and layered wine filled with dark berry fruit and smoky flavours. If you usually reach for a Syrah, you’ll find a new love in this Esk Valley take on Tempranillo.
